Greg Abbott Issues Statement on Tom Pauken

AUSTIN – Attorney General and gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott today released the following statement regarding Tom Pauken’s decision to withdraw from Texas’ gubernatorial race:

“As a Vietnam veteran, a member of the Reagan Administration, former Chairman of the Republican Party of Texas and head of the Texas Workforce Commission, Tom has dedicated his career to public service and advancing conservatism. Tom has been an insightful and effective voice for common-sense solutions in Texas. In the race for Governor, Tom offered thoughtful ideas in areas such as vocational education and workforce development. I thank him for his valuable contributions to the race, and I look forward to working together with him to build an even better Texas.”
