GOP Rep. Ronny Jackson (TX) said the Spanish-language ads he is running in his deep-red district were not motivated by a possible primary bid against Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) in 2026, asserting that he is focused instead on his current position in the House.
His comments come amid reports that Jackson, the former physician to the president, is weighing a primary bid against Cornyn, who has taken heat from some conservatives for his role in helping negotiate a bipartisan gun reform bill that passed following the Uvalde shooting.
“I do want to be a leader in the state of Texas on taking the country back and keeping Texas red and driving Texas to the right — so I will be all about that,” he said.Jackson said that despite representing a safely Republican seat, he feels running ads in Spanish could help reach new voters, adding that he has not yet spoken to Cornyn since the reports dropped.
