Gohmert will run for Texas attorney general as a Republican against incumbent Ken Paxton.
Gohmert is running to be Texas' next Attorney General and will enforce the rule of law.
Gohmert said in the video that he will enforce immigration policies in the state.
The Republican lawmaker from Texas' 1st congressional district in the House said earlier this month that he was considering a run if he could raise $1 million in donations by November 19.
Gohmert cited a report by the Texas Tribune that said the attorney general needs to be focused on moral and legal issues.
The Texas AG Republican primary has a crowded pool of candidates, including Gohmert.
