AUSTIN – Texans For Greg Abbott today launched a new digital ad, “Beto’s Team: Bad For Texas.” This new 60-second ad highlights O’Rourke’s role as the ringleader of Democrat candidates in Texas, including those running for the House, as they push his extreme, liberal agenda in hopes of transforming Texas into a failed progressive state like California.

The ad notes O’Rourke’s support of the Green New Deal, defunding the police, stripping away Second Amendment rights, and raising taxes on hard-working Texans. A recent Texas Hispanic Policy Foundation and Rice University’s Baker Institute poll found that Beto O’Rourke is the most unpopular politician in the state of Texas with a net favorability rating of -15.6%.

As part of a multimillion dollar ad campaign, Texans For Greg Abbott has also launched four 15-second digital ads that are tailored to swing voters in 21 targeted House districts across the state for a total of 84 different ads.
