@AbbottCampaign Beto has never defunded police but Hypocrite Greg Abbott keeps defunding the state police:

Apr 2022 - Abbott cuts DPS Budget by $50M

Jan 2022 - Abbott cuts DPS Budget by $40M

Dec 2017 - Abbott cuts DPS Budget by $50M & lays off 177 state troopers

@AbbottCampaign Abbott’s parole board let a parole violator back on the street instead of revoking bail. 24 days later he killed 2 Dallas hospital workers

- Oct 2021 - Released from prison on parole

- Mar, Jun 2022 - Violates parole

- Released after 100 days in jail

@GregAbbott_TX @TexasPancake @AbbottCampaign On the day of the Uvalde shooting Gregg Abbott waited 4 hours and 34 minutes after the 1st 911 call to call DPS Director Steve McCraw even though there were 91 state police at the scene.

Abbott was more concerned about attending a 3 hour fundraiser.

@BetoORourke For the last 5 yrs TX leads the nation with 87 road rage firearm homicides including 33 in 2021 (1/4 of US total)

What action did Abbott take?

- Removed 1,600 (38%) state troopers from patrolling TX highways and sent them to the border

- Defunded DPS Budget by $90M in 2022

[Steve Jackson @sjackson52]

@BetoORourke Since Abbott has been Gov 3 of the 5 worst mass shootings have been in TX (Sutherland Springs, El Paso, Uvalde) plus 2 of the 3 worst school shootings (Uvalde, Santa Fe)

Does anyone believe Abbott has done anything to prevent another?

Think about that when you vote tomorrow

@AbbottCampaign @GregAbbott_TX After your total disregard for Hispanic lives after the El Paso & Uvalde shootings and your abortion ban, Hispanic women and youth will vote overwhelmingly against you.

[Steve Jackson @sjackson52]

@GregAbbott_TX Beto has a comprehensive job creation plan. Abbott just wants to protect oil & gas jobs. But since Abbott has been Governor Texas has lost 106K oil & gas jobs.

[Steve Jackson @sjackson52]

@GregAbbott_TX Remember the radical TX GOP Legislature is not done with abortion restrictions. They will try to prevent women from being assisted to go outside TX to have an abortion.

[Truth by Texas @TruthxTexas]

Republican Legislators *Aren't Done* Going After Texas Women, Doctors, even Texas Companies

*That's why we need to Change the Texas Legislature in 2022*

@GregAbbott_TX ABBOTT LIED THOUSANDS DIED

3/2/21 Abbott promised Co Judges they could issue mask mandates if Covid Hospitalizations hit 15%

5/18/21 Abbott broke his promise

Aug 2021-Feb 2022 during Delta/Omicron 31,464 Texans died from Covid (10,699 more than CA)

Abbott-Politics over lives!

[Steve Jackson @sjackson52]

@GregAbbott_TX Documentary about the 2021 TX Power Outages. Abbott made ERCOT the convenient scapegoat, but ERCOT managed the flow of power but was not responsible for winterization. Abbott & the TX Legislature failed to require winterization after the 2011 storm.

[Steve Jackson @sjackson52]

@GregAbbott_TX There were rolling blackouts after the TX 1989 & 2011 winter storms. In 2014 50 generating units froze up. After each storm a federal report called for winterization (92 times in 2011 report). Perry & Abbott decided to make it voluntary.

[Steve Jackson @sjackson52]

@GregAbbott_TX On 2/13/21 Abbott held a press conference about Winter Storm Uri. He spent 2 minutes talking about potential power outages.

The blackouts started at 1:15 on 2/15/21 but Abbott did not have another statewide news conference until 2/17/21.

[Steve Jackson @sjackson52]

@GregAbbott_TX How can we forget the Blackouts on Feb 15, 2021?

Abbott's office received 30 calls (Feb 10-15) from the PUC before the blackouts started about natural gas freeze-offs and power plant curtailments. He still went on Fox News and blamed wind turbines.

@GregAbbott_TX Most law enforcement groups came out against Permit Less Carry. But Abbott ignored the BLUE.

According to the Gun Violence Archive since Abbott signed the bill, 10 TX Law Enforcement Officers have been killed and 69 have been injured by firearms.

@GregAbbott_TX TX has 983K current job openings but only 557 unemployed people.

The TX agriculture sector is struggling with worker shortages.

Abbott should be pushing for passage of the Farm Workforce Modernization Act that would provide relief to TX farmers.

@GregAbbott_TX Abbott started receiving $5K/mo from his settlement in 1986 but with COLA increases it is now $15K/mo

But for other Texans:

Retired teachers - No COLA since 2004

Minimum Wage - $ 7.25 - No increase since 2009

Minimum Tipped Wages - $2.13 - No increase since 1991
