Loaded with $43 million in his campaign coffers and facing no serious electoral threat, Gov. Greg Abbott in 2017 plunged into uncharted waters for a Texas governor: the state House primaries. The first-term governor mobilized his support — an arsenal of endorsements, ads and stump speeches — behind three candidates taking on incumbent representatives he had clashed with in the state’s lower chamber.
