Hank Gilbert kicked off his gubernatorial campaign Monday with an announcement in Dallas. Gilbert, who lost the 2006 race for agriculture commissioner, is an East Texas rancher who has actively opposed Gov. Rick Perry's Trans-Texas Corridor project. Others seeking the Democratic nomination include former ambassador Tom Schieffer, therapist Mark Thompson and humorist Kinky Friedman. On the Republican side, Gov. Rick Perry is seeking election for a third full term. His most formidable opponent for the GOP nomination is Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison.
