The announcement came just days after he condemned Republicans for attacking the word "woke," saying it simply meant "human decency," and Jesus would call himself woke.
Also weighing on his decision may have been the fact that the State Democratic party chair Gilbert Hinojosa had endorsed lieutenant governor candidate Mike Collier several months ago and he was the only candidate in the race.
