The 2026 race for Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts added a third candidate when state Sen. Kelly Hancock (R-North Richland Hills) announced a bid for the office after being hired as the agency’s chief clerk.
“For over a decade, I’ve fought for Texas taxpayers in the Legislature, cutting red tape, passing conservative budget reforms, and holding government accountable,” Hancock said in a press release announcement. “As Comptroller, I’ll make sure your tax dollars are spent wisely, transparently, and responsibly.”
