Daniel Miller, president of the Texas nationalist movement, a group which advocates the secession of Texas from the Union, has announced he will challenge Lt. Governor Dan Patrick and the Republican primary.
In a statement Wednesday night, Miller said:
"For months, Texans who love liberty and independence have asked me to run for office to represent them and their values in Austin. I have made my decision."
In his online biography, Miller is referred to as, "an outspoken advocate for Texas independence since 1996. As the head of one of the largest and most influential political organizations in Texas, Miller has extensively researched and engaged the issue of self-determination, not just for Texas, but as part of a growing global trend."
Miller will challenge Patrick from the Right, likely criticizing the failures of the Senate, which Patrick has been leading, to push through more conservative legislation. Patrick will likely counter that the past year's regular and special legislative sessions were the most productive and most conservative in recent memory.
