Greg Abbott made a stop in El Paso on Thursday, Oct. 29 to engage with voters before the midterm elections on Tuesday, Nov. 3.The incumbent governor visited Rosa’s Cantina where he discussed his record in office and his campaign priorities as he faces Democratic opponent Gina Hinojosa.During the visit, he addressed key issues facing Texans and highlighted the policies and accomplishments he hopes will shape his campaign message heading into the November election.Abbott also mentioned the state disaster declaration he issued for El Paso County amid recent flooding.“Just before coming in here, I issued a state disaster declaration for El Paso County,” Abbott said. “This is going to be a flooding event for El Paso. A top goal that we have is to make sure nobody loses their life…we must protect and save every life.”<figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3lEVdg_1GjKvIfu00" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3lEVdg_1GjKvIfu00" width="2001" height="1334" ><figcaption>Texas Gov.

Its founder, Rep. Brent Money, has condemned the policy and is actively gaining traction from other law makers to ban Islamic laws in the State of Texas.“Don’t Sharia my Texas, don’t Sharia your Texas, don’t Sharia any Texas because we are going to keep Texas, Texas,” Abbott said.Abbott then discussed his goal to cut taxes and outlined his goals for future property tax reform.“It will cut taxes forever,” Abbott said. “We’re going to reduce those sky rocketing appraisals from 10 percent a year to no more than 3 percent a year.” He said his proposed reforms would eliminate certain school district property taxes and save the average Texan at least $3,000 annually. Abbott also vowed to lower the cost of homeowners’ insurance.Turning to the election, Abbott criticized Hinojosa’s Democratic agenda, calling her the “farthest leftist progressive Democrat in the Texas House of Representatives.” He made aim at democratic U.S. Senate candidate James Talarico, stating “As crazy as Talarico is, my opponent is to the far radical left progressive of even Talarico.”Abbott used the criticism to reinforce his campaign’s message and challenge Hinojosa’s record as a state representative.“She is wrong for Texas. She’s not safe. She’s dangerous, and you must reelect me for four more years,” Abbott said.The final day of voting is Nov. 3. Voting locations throughout the city can be found on the El Paso County Elections Department website.Vanessa Orozco is a staff reporter for The Prospector and may be reached at [email protected]</div></body>
