Don Huffines, the far-right, Trump-endorsed candidate for Texas comptroller who says he wants to “DOGE Texas government,” won on Tuesday despite criticism of his ownership of deceased sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein’s former ranch in New Mexico.
His victory tees up a general election race against Texas Democratic state Sen. Sarah Eckhardt.
Last month, the Santa Fe New Mexican reported that Huffines’ family was now the owner of a ranch that Epstein had fashioned into a hub for his eugenics-style plan to “seed” the human race with his DNA. The purchase of the property at public auction took place in 2023, four years after Epstein died by suicide while he was being held for trial. A spokesperson for the family told The Texas Tribune that they never looked at the property before buying it.
The ranch, which Epstein called Zorro Ranch, is the subject of fresh investigations by New Mexico lawmakers and the state’s Department of Justice over an unverified allegation that surfaced in the most recent release of the Epstein files — that Epstein had two girls buried near the property. There’s no evidence to suggest Huffines has any other connection to Epstein.
