Greg Abbott just publicly pledged to turn Harris County “dark red” in 2026 — and he’s backing it up with $25 million of his campaign war chest.
He is targeting Democratic-held Texas House seats one by one, recruiting Republican candidates in districts that haven’t seen GOP challengers in years, and flooding Houston with attack ads designed to cement his hold on power for another four years.
Abbott hasn’t won Harris County in a decade. He knows it’s the beating heart of Democratic power in Texas — and that’s exactly why he’s going all in to crush it.
And with nearly $90 million in the bank, he has the resources he needs to execute his plan and crush any hope of turning Texas blue any time soon.
So let’s be clear: If Abbott succeeds, he won’t just win an election. He’ll gain a freer hand to push his extreme agenda through the Texas House — attacking public education, undermining voting rights, threatening reproductive freedom, and silencing Democratic opposition for years to come.
