TX-GOV: Gov. Greg Abbott launches reelection campaign for fourth term [View all]

Gov. Greg Abbott on Sunday launched his campaign for a fourth term as governor, framing his pitch to a crowd of hundreds in Houston as a means to maintain Texas as a “bastion of common sense in a country reeling from far-left, progressive insanity.”

“Texas is not just another state — it’s our home. Our heritage,” Abbott said in his speech. “As Texans, we will defend this state with every fiber of our being. We will protect what we built, finish what we started and lead Texas into its glorious future.”

Both reflecting on his decade as governor and previewing his priorities for a fourth term, Abbott touted a series of conservative achievements in affordability, education, border security and more.

A week after Texas voters approved several constitutional amendments to reduce property taxes, Abbott vowed to go further to rein in local taxing power through a slate of five policy proposals he unveiled Sunday.
