IT TOOK A WHILE, BUT IT'S UNARGUABLE: TEXAS IS TURNING BLUE

Which begs the question, "Since you're a minority, do you hate yourself?"

Republicans are scared about this election, and Greg Abbott just proved it.

Ten Republicans are on the ballot against him, and Abbott’s campaign has spent nearly $4 million dollars on ads for the primary.

That’s not something someone who’s confident in winning this election would do. He’s worried about Republicans losing this November.

Abbott is trying to change the subject because he doesn’t want the focus on what his failed leadership has actually done for Texans. Higher costs, shuttered schools, increasing cost of living, and unaffordable property taxes.

Abbott has over $105 million in the bank, and he’s already spending big to drown us out. The only way we can counter this is with people-powered pressure and unstoppable momentum.

This past week, Trump took to social media to give his “complete and total endorsement” to  Abbott.

If there were ever any doubts about what this race represents, that should make it crystal clear.

Abbott isn’t running to fix what’s broken in Texas. He’s running to keep the same status quo locked in place that protects his billionaire donors. The one that’s skyrocketed health care premiums, attacked our neighborhood schools, and left working families twisting in the wind while politicians line their pockets and find even more ways to take from hardworking Texans.

Trump’s endorsement isn’t about making this great state better for working people. It’s about keeping the same broken politics Abbott has relied on for decades.

Meanwhile, Texans across our state are asking for something simple: a governor who cares. Leadership that listens to them, not big money.

We’re running a campaign grounded in Texans’ real priorities. I don’t take corporate cash because I’m not here to score points or be the puppet that carries out the whims of billionaire donors. I’m here to fight for working people, and build our movement the Texas way: county by county, block by block, powered by teachers, nurses, small business owners, parents, and every other Texan who’s ready for something better.

The choice is clear: more of the same corrupt, billionaire-backed politics that’s left too many Texans behind, or new leadership that is rooted in accountability, integrity, and delivering real results for working families.

But let’s be real. When a sitting president throws his weight behind an incumbent, the money starts flowing. With Trump’s backing, Abbott’s already massive $106 million war chest will only grow stronger.

We can’t afford another four years of a governor who’s in Trump’s pocket and will prioritize his agenda over the challenges facing working people in Texas. It’s time to take back our state.
