"Today, I am closing the exploratory committee and opening the first phase of my campaign for Governor of Texas," Hutchison said. "I want to rejuvenate [the state] through grassroots. I am so proud to be fighting for Texas values, make sure our voice is heard and Texas values are heard. I am proud to have received the depth and width of support that we ought to have for governor of Texas."
Hutchison has been in the U.S. Senate in 1993. A formal announcement of her gubernatorial campaign will take place in August.
