The 1998 Texas gubernatorial election was held on November 3 1998 to select the governor of the state of Texas. Incumbent George W. Bush ran for re-election and easily received the Republican Party nomination. The Democratic Party unanimously nominated Garry Mauro – the Commissioner of the General Land Office since 1983 – for Governor of Texas in 1998. Polls consistently showed that Bush had very high approval ratings and led Mauro in every poll by large margins.
