The 1906 Texas gubernatorial election was held to elect the Governor of Texas. Thomas Mitchell Campbell was elected to a two-year term in office.
This was the first election in which a party held a primary to determine its nominee.[1] Thomas Mitchell Campbell won the Democratic nomination over a four-man field including M. M. Brooks, Oscar Branch Colquitt and Charles K. Bell; his victory was tantamount to election with the Republican Party already weak in Texas and deeply divided at the time.
