Governor Abbott Makes a Stop in Tyler

TYLER — Governor Greg Abbott made a stop in Tyler Wednesday to support down-ballot candidates in East Texas. He told our news partner KETK, “We’ve gotta make sure we are both securing our border, make our communities safe. We gotta do a better job with regard to educating our students, paying our teachers more. There’s a lot to do.” But the governor’s primary message was that Republicans need to “turn out and vote.” He said, “Their values are at stake in this election. They need to turn out and vote if they want their values represented in Texas.” Abbott was joined by state Senator Bryan Hughes along with state Representatives Matt Schaefer and Cole Hefner.
