Greg Abbott went live on national television via Fox News from the tiny community of Inez, just a stone’s throw across the Jackson County line, on Tuesday, Oct. 27.The meet-and-greet with the governor was one of dozens of campaign stops made across the state in recent weeks, all ahead of the Nov. 3 general election.Former longtime Jackson County sheriff and current state Rep. A.J. Louderback, R-Victoria, introduced the governor and welcomed the standing-room-only crowd at The Bomb Diggity, a well-known Inez steakhouse and event venue.Following a few howdies to those gathered there, the governor went almost instantly into his live television broadcast, with Louderback and roughly 300 supporters who gathered there that day to form a living backdrop for his TV interview.The room went from sheer jubilation at the governor’s arrival to pin-drop quiet as the interview took place.Although no one could hear the questions posed by the on-camera personalities, Abbott’s answers focused on issues including Texas job creation and economic growth, immigration policies and, most importantly for places like Inez, preserving small-town values, all while pushing everyone to get out and vote.In a fitting nod to the olden-day whistle-stop campaign speeches once given by scores of candidates just like him, a train’s whistle blasted just one question into the interview from the tracks right across the road, filling the place with a low rumble as the freight cars sped past.Once the interview was done, the governor turned to his live audience, where he elaborated on many of the comments he made during the interview while also touching on issues like data center controls, investing in children and the future and further lowering local property taxes.“Our values—the things we cherish most here in smalltown Texas, both now and, unfortunately, for most every election we’ll ever face from this point moving forward—remain under constant attack,” Abbott said. “Our values, our way of life, the well-being of our children and grandchildren—”“Our freedom!” someone yelled from the crowd.“Our freedom,” Abbott agreed, smiling as applause rang out. “It is what we’re here to protect and defend. And with your help, we will continue to do so for years to come here in Texas. Help me lead this state and nation into a future that we can all be proud of.”Then, just as quickly as he arrived, Abbott was off to the next stop on the campaign trail.As Louderback noted in his introductory remarks Tuesday, Texas is and always has been a major player in the nation’s political process.“As the saying goes, as it goes in Texas, so goes the rest of our nation,” he said. “We have that power, each and every one of you. Thank you all so much for allowing me to be part of that process, and for coming here today to show us your support.”</div></body>
