Sid Miller

Sid Miller has accumulated so many enemies and courted so much controversy in his two terms as Texas agriculture commissioner that even his conservative credentials and Donald Trump’s endorsement might not be enough to save him in the state’s March 1 2022 GOP primary. Miller’s top political consultant and campaign spokesperson, Todd Smith, was indicted In January 2022 by a grand jury on charges of theft and commercial bribery after a two-year investigation into allegations that he overcharged people for hemp licenses. A vocal critic of Gov. Greg Abbott’s handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, Miller was expected to be one of the governor’s top primary challengers this year. But Trump endorsed Abbott and Miller announced, instead, that he would run for reelection.
