News 8 Austin | 24 Hour Local News | HEADLINES | Gale will run for governor: "Perennial candidate Jennifer Gale announced her intention to run for governor Thursday.

The announcement came during the public comments section of the Austin City Council meeting.

Gale was encouraged by the 5,315 votes, 9 percent of total votes, she received in the race for Austin City Council Place 4.
