Governor Abbott Champions Economic Growth Priorities In Dallas

Statement

Governor Greg Abbott today championed Texas' booming economy and outlined his legislative priorities at a Dallas Regional Chamber (DRC) luncheon. Speaking to a crowd of over 400 business leaders, the Governor highlighted how he will work with members of the Texas Legislature to ensure that a robust, pro-growth economic agenda keeps Texas the economic engine of America.

"The Dallas Metroplex is ranked number one in the nation for high-tech job growth because of its well-trained workforce, world-class airport, leading research universities, and affordable real estate," said Governor Abbott. "Last year was a banner year for Dallas, with a record for total jobs, a record for Texans employed in the Dallas metro, and an unemployment rate below the state average. That's a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the local business leaders here today. Texas is America's economic juggernaut, where entrepreneurs can cast a vision and know they live in a state where they can achieve it. This session, we will work to keep Texas the land of economic opportunity and prosperity."
