Ted Cruz, the former solictor general under Greg Abbott, became the latest candidate to declare for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Kay Bailey Hutchison.
Hutchison announced last week that she wouldn't seek re-election to the seat she's held since 1993.
Cruz, 40, filed the official paperwork and announced that he would "fight for limited government, less spending, lower taxes, individual liberty, and preserving the Constitution."
He said he would try to end the national health care act, cut spending, reject earmarks and attempt to pass a federal balanced budget amendment.
Other Republican entrants into the race, or likely soon to announce, are Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, Railroad Commissioners Michael Williams and Elizabeth Ames Jones, and former Secretary of State Roger Williams.
