DALLAS – Following tonight’s gubernatorial debate, Metroplex leaders are declaring victory for Greg Abbott – among them State Representative Jason Villalba of Dallas, State Senator Kelly Hancock of North Richland Hills, State Senator Jane Nelson of Flower Mound and business executive Jay Adair.

“As a State Representative, I know the challenges that our state faces, and I know Greg Abbott is prepared to lead Texas beyond those challenges to make Texas an even better place to call home,” said State Representative Jason Villalba of Dallas. “From the Red River to the Rio Grande Valley, Greg Abbott is the only candidate who consistently represents the best interests of the Hispanic community and Texans across the state. Having been the clear winner of tonight’s debate, I’m proud to support Greg Abbott for governor – the sole candidate to carry the promise of a better future for generations to come.”

“Never has there been a more clear contrast between Senator Wendy Davis and Attorney General Greg Abbott, as evident by tonight’s debate,” State Senator Kelly Hancock said. “This election is about two very different visions for Texas, and Greg Abbott has consistently been the only candidate to articulate a vision that will improve education, strengthen personal freedoms, expand healthcare and secure our border, making him the clear victor of tonight’s exchange. With Greg Abbott as our governor, Texans can feel secure in knowing that their communities will be safe and their voices will be heard. Greg Abbott will make an outstanding governor, and I look forward to working with him in the years to come.”

State Senator Jane Nelson of Flower Mound also weighed in, saying, “As State Senator, I’ve had the opportunity to work closely with both Senator Wendy Davis and Attorney General Greg Abbott on a variety of initiatives. Because of this unique perspective – and because of Greg Abbott’s superior debate performance – I am confident that he is the right choice for our state’s top office. I’ve seen firsthand Greg Abbott’s passion for protecting women, children and their families. There is no candidate better equipped to preserve Texas’ leadership, strengthen the foundation of our local communities and ensure Texas remains the best state in the nation for generations to come.”

“Texas is truly a model for the rest of the nation,” said Jay Adair, Dallas resident and CEO of Copart. “That’s why we moved our business to Texas from California – a state where taxes are too high and the regulations are unfriendly to business. Texans deserve a governor that will fight for freedom and free enterprise, and as the next governor of the great state of Texas, Greg Abbott will fight every single day for those very values that have made Texas the best state in the nation to do business.”
