Governor Abbott Touts Legislative Priorities At Texas Policy Summit

Statement

Governor Abbott today highlighted the scope of legislative priorities he is working with the Texas Legislature to accomplish this session during the opening keynote address at the Texas Public Policy Foundation's (TPPF) annual Texas Policy Summit in Austin.

"Texas is the undisputed economic juggernaut of America, and we will remain an unflinching force in the world by expanding opportunities for everyone this session," said Governor Abbott. "I look forward to working with the Texas House and Senate to prevent a patchwork regulation regime that makes it hard to do business in our state. We are also working on other policy issues to make Texas even greater, including providing the largest property tax cut in Texas history, doing more than any other state to ensure our southern border is secure, classifying fentanyl poisonings as murder, and ending revolving-door bail policies that kill innocent Texans. One of the most consequential policies this session is to empower all parents with the ability to choose the best education option for their child. One hundred and eighty-seven years after Texas was founded, there has never been a better time to be a Texan. Working together, we will keep it that way."
