Greg Abbott Makes His Governor’s Run Official

Abbott makes his run official: “That’s why I’m asking you, the people of Texas, to elect me as your next governor.”

Jay Root posted this pic of the sign they handed out at Greg Abbott’s San Antonio event

Livestream of the announcement here.

Lots of standard family introductions and Abbott telling his life story, including the accident that put him in a wheelchair. “Politicians get up and talk about having a spine of steel. I actually have one.”

“The very day the President signed ObamaCare, I took him to court to fight for our constitutional rights.”

“The second amendment and the tenth amendment are not suggestions. They are guaranteed rights that I will preserve, protect, and defend.”

More later.
