Dem Governor

I have concerns but didn't like Abbott either. I guess we'll see. Hoping our next president will also want a secure border.

I heard she is going to undo the school vouchers.

dac2010 :
I hope so

Atascocita888 : we can tell you're 100% manipulated with this. The ban on income taxes in the state is in the Constitution...It's not something she can change on a whim or the legislature through a simple regular vote.

ParksideRes : This is how your post should have looked. Why do you always feel the need to include stupid comments like this? Why don't you try to be better than that?

Catmae : Because it's true. Anyone who believes that has been manipulated and hasn't even taken a chance to see for themselves.And that's coming from a person who always tries to tell everyone else they've been manipulated.🤷‍♀️

ParksideRes : Well, you have made me feel a whole lot better. Let's just hope that the state legislature stays red and the people of the state don't get manipulated.

I am still shocked that from last Governor race to this one.
Greg increased his vote total by 2%.
And the Democrat increased by 48%That is truly remarkable,
I wonder if that is a record for any state Governor election.

M1cha3lo0o : This one didn't actually break any Texas records. Turnout increased significantly but still short of even 2018.The people had enough and showed up.

Catmae : a leopard can't change its spots

sandman : Ever heard of the "The Boy who cried wolf"?

Atascocita888 :
The legislature won't be completely red. The Democrats won the House.

Atascocita888 :
It's fantastic, isn't it?
The borders won't be open.The federal government has exclusive constitutional authority to control and manage international borders and immigration.
• Federal Authority: Under the U.S. Constitution, foreign affairs, national sovereignty, and the regulation of immigration and international commerce belong to the national government. Federal agencies-primarily U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), and the Coast Guard under the Department of Homeland Security (DHS)-enforce immigration laws, manage ports of entry, and patrol borders.
• State Role: Individual states do not have the power to regulate international borders or create their own independent immigration policies. While some states deploy National Guard units or fund state-level border operations (such as Texas's Operation Lone Star) or cooperate through federal programs, the U.S. Supreme Court has repeatedly affirmed that primary and exclusive authority over immigration and foreign borders rests with the federal government.

Didn't the big beautiful bill fund ICE thru 2028.
Little this congress can do to halt these thugs.

Olaf : Yes, she plans to review that and its cost. I am sure it will get changed. She has said she will not let Texas be used as a staging ground for immigration enforcement operations that terrorize families. What does that mean? She also criticized Abbott's cooperation with ICE (so she is not for cooperation with ICE) and accused his administration of contributing to harmful treatment of immigration. What she means is the treatment of illegals.
You know how it makes it much harder for ICE to do its job if the state is fighting them at every turn. She doesn't want local police to help and she can make sure of that. So not sure why you think all that is a good thing for Texas.
