Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller issued a defiant statement on March 2, 2026, claiming he had received multiple death threats in the preceding 24 hours. He linked these threats to his outspoken criticism of what he calls the "Islamification" of Texas and the United States, as well as his strong social media responses to a recent mass shooting in Austin, which he labeled a "horrific terror attack." The threats are under investigation by authorities, and Miller vowed he would not be intimidated or silenced. This development comes at a precarious time for Miller, who is facing a tough re-election battle in tomorrow's March 3, 2026, Republican Primary, where Governor Greg Abbott has endorsed his challenger, Nate Sheets.
