In a step forward to repair the extreme damage the city has done to the Austin Police Department, Austin residents will soon have the chance to vote on a measure that would require the city to have a minimum amount of police officers on staff.

Once a great city, our state capitol has become increasingly more dangerous after the Austin City Council succumbed to the ‘woke’ narrative to defund the police. Homicides have increased 96%, and 15-20 officers are leaving the force every month. Thanks to the Left’s “defund the police” movement, this is the frightening reality we find ourselves in.

An increase in murders, slower 911 response times, and a skyrocketing auto theft rate are just a few of the horrible and avoidable results of the city council's decision to defund the police in Austin. It’s clear and downright shameful that the Democrats’ anti-police policies are endangering Texans.

More than ever, we need to back the blue. The courage they display daily to keep us safe is something we ought to never take for granted.

Defunding the police is an irresponsible policy. Texans don’t support it, and we back our law enforcement 100%. Do you back the blue? Take our poll here.

Defunding the police is just one example of the crazy leftist ideas that Texas Democrats want to enact. I’m fighting them at every turn. Can I count on your support to help me keep fighting?

The Democrats will stop at nothing to beat me and rollback our conservative policies. Just look at them fighting our election integrity measures! I hope I can count on your support today. Your support will help our campaign champion conservative ideas across Texas. Because when the conservatives win, Texas wins.

Please continue to keep our state and our nation in your prayers. May God bless you and your family, and may He continue to bless the greatest state of all—Texas.

Sincerely,

Dan Patrick

Dan Patrick
Lieutenant Governor of Texas
