Texas Backs The Blue

Crime rates are increasing nationwide and in Texas. From 2020 to 2021 in Houston, our largest city, there has been a 35% increase in homicides. From January to July alone, Austin's homicide rate was already 68% higher than the year-to-date last year. San Antonio also saw an increase in homicides.

Shockingly, this has not stopped Democrats from pushing their dangerous, anti-police policies and their 'let everyone out of jail' policies. In Houston 149 people have been murdered over the last 18 months by criminals let out on bond. On the contrary, their 'Defund the Police' rallying cry was at an all-time high in 2020 while we experienced the largest rise in America's murder rate.

I met with law enforcement all across the state, including the San Antonio Police Officers Association last week, discussing the importance of electing candidates who will support pro-police policies and law-and-order judges who will keep dangerous criminals off the streets. As a steadfast supporter of law enforcement, I assured them that I will always have their backs because they always have the backs of Texans.

I am proud to have consistently supported our men and women who wear the uniform. I have personally written and passed legislation to provide funding for bulletproof vests for every officer in our state and bulletproof windshields for every DPS patrol car.

This year, we passed legislation that stops efforts to defund local police departments. We also passed bail reform legislation to help keep dangerous criminals off the streets and behind bars. In 2022, we must defeat 'soft on crime' judges who mostly reside in our largest cities and counties.

With the onslaught of left-wing attacks on our brave law enforcement, we need our police officers to know that we have their backs. I remain committed to supporting legislation that will make it safer for law enforcement to uphold their duty to protect Texans. Can I count on your support of $5-10-25 or more to help me keep fighting?

Your support will help our campaign champion conservative ideas across Texas. Because when conservatives win, Texas wins.

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
