Kilgore has been perennial Republican candidate for various elected offices in Texas[1] and one of the most prominent supporters of Texas secession. Kilgore received his most widespread attention during his advocacy for 2012 U.S. state secession petitions following the 2012 presidential election. Political aspirationsKilgore has never won a Republican primary. He ran for governor in 2006 and came second in the Republican primary behind Governor Rick Perry with 50,119 votes (7.64%).[2] He then ran for the U.S. Senate in 2008 and came second in the Republican primary behind Senator John Cornyn with 225,897 votes (18.51%). He ran again for governor in 2014 but was not a factor in the March 4 nomination of fellow Republican Greg Abbott, the outgoing state attorney general, who succeeded Perry as governor in January 2015.[2][3] He ran for the Republican nomination for governor in the March 6, 2018 Republican Party Primary Election, against Gregg Abbott and Barbara Krueger.[4] Kilgore came in last place with only 1% of the vote.[5] Political positionsKilgore believes that Texas could leave the U.S. without permission from the federal government, despite legal precedent of Texas v. White establishing the opposite.[1] His motto has been "Secession! All other issues can be dealt with later" Kilgore has advanced a number of other policies in his political bids, mainly based on what he considers biblical law. Running for the U.S. Senate in 2008, he advocated the death penalty for abortion, adultery and homosexuality and flogging for vulgar language and transvestitism. He also believes that Abraham Lincoln was the American equivalent of Adolf Hitler.[6] He discussed this view and his support for secessionism in general when he appeared in a segment of The Daily Show on 21 February 2013.[7] Personal lifeKilgore lives in Arlington, Texas, and works as a telecommunications contractor.[1] References1. ^1 2 {{cite news|last=Fernandez|first=Manny|title=With Stickers, a Petition and Even a Middle Name, Secession Fever Hits Texas|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2012/11/24/us/politics/with-stickers-a-petition-and-even-a-middle-name-secession-fever-hits-texas.html|newspaper=New York Times|date=November 23, 2012}} 2. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.idigitaltimes.com/articles/13053/20121126/texas-secession-petition-larry-kilgore-secede-middle-name.htm|title=Texas Secession Petition: Larry Kilgore To Change Middle Name To ‘SECEDE’}} 3. ^{{cite web|title=After Obama Win, Some Voters Talk of Secession|url=http://en.ria.ru/politics/20121127/177754121.html}} 4. ^{{cite news |last=Hawkins |first=Celinda |date=2018-02-14 |title=Runnels County Republican Party Chair attends Abbott event |url=http://www.runnelscountyregister.com/news/20180214/runnels-county-republican-party-chair-attends-abbott-event |work=Runnels County Register |access-date=2018-02-24 }} 5. ^https://www.nytimes.com/elections/results/texas-primary-election 6. ^1 {{cite news|title=Death for adultery; flogging for cussing|url=http://blog.chron.com/texaspolitics/2007/08/death-for-adultery-flogging-for-cussing/|newspaper=Houston Chronicle|date=August 23, 2007}} 7. ^{{cite news|url=http://www.cc.com/video-clips/6w4vfb/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-tyranny---texas|title=Tyranny & Texas|date=21 February 2013|accessdate=12 December 2017|work=The Daily Show}} External links
