Texans have seen the consequences of elected officials who prioritize political stunts over real solutions to the challenges we face.
Just take a look at what Gov. Greg Abbott has done in recent months:
- An order to inspect commercial trucks at the border — disrupting supply chains and costing Texas consumers and businesses over $4 billion — without turning up any illegal substances or activities
- An order to investigate parents providing gender-affirming care to their children, sending shock and fear through Texas families
- An order to bus immigrants — using taxpayers’ funds — from Texas to D.C.
These actions don’t solve anything. More often, they create a whole new set of problems.
And it’s not just Abbott. The Texas legislature’s passage of S.B. 8, a near-total abortion ban, created a crisis of reproductive care across our state. An average of 1,400 Texans have been forced to travel out of state each month to get the care they need. In Oklahoma alone, Planned Parenthood clinics have experienced a 2,500% increase in patients from Texas.
Leadership matters, and that means elections and their outcomes matter, too.
That’s why our work together is so important. Lizzie is working to deliver solutions that make a meaningful difference in Texans’ lives — like protecting access to reproductive health care and making all health care more affordable.
We’re working to reach voters and talk to them about the work Lizzie is doing, which is essential now that we have a new map where 70% of voters are new to the district. Your contributions support our efforts. Any amount you can contribute would make a big difference.
Thanks,
