Former El Paso Mayor John Cook will seek the Democratic nomination for Texas land commissioner in 2014, he told the El Paso Times Wednesday night.
"I think it's an embarrassment to the city of El Paso, being one of the largest cities in the United States, that we've never had a candidate elected to a statewide office," Cook said after attending a talk at the Wyndham Hotel by the Rev. Barry Lynn of Americans United for Separation of Church and State.
The likely Republican nominee for land commissioner is George P. Bush, the son of former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush and nephew of former President George W. Bush. No Democrat has won a statewide election in Texas since 1994.
