For nearly a decade, I’ve fought Greg Abbott in the Texas House over his schemes to hand out no-bid contracts to his donors, attack our public schools, and let big corporations profit at the expense of Texans. I’m never going to stop fighting back.

100%. Greg Abbott gets worse every year. He's totally sold out to his DC and billionaire masters.

Americans give each Israeli $3,400, and they receive free health care and we don't.
