AUSTIN – Texans For Greg Abbott today launched a new “Missing Democrats” ad campaign which highlights Texas Democrats who abandoned their responsibilities by fleeing the state and breaking quorum during the Special Session. The ads will be placed in targeted house districts of Democrats who fled to Washington, D.C. instead of representing their constituents. As part of the campaign, Texans For Greg Abbott will also gather petition signatures from their constituents who are demanding that these Democrats get back to work.
“Instead of staying in Texas and representing their constituents during the Special Session, Texas Democrats have fled from property tax relief, funding to support law enforcement, funding for children in foster care, and funding for retired teachers,” said Governor Abbott. “By abandoning their responsibilities, the Texas Democrats are letting Texans down by stalling important legislation. There is no excuse for their PR stunt, and I join thousands of Texans in demanding that these Democrats get back to work.”
