I'm your constituent, and I want to talk about what happened last week in Corpus Christi. Governor Abbott's campaign spent money on bulls with branded towels, a van circling the block with attack ads, and free tacos designed to mock James Talarico and Texas Democrats at their own convention. Whatever you think of the opposing party, that's campaign money being used to put on a circus instead of talking to Texans about what actually matters.
Here's what frustrates me: families in this state are dealing with real things. Grocery prices. Schools that need resources. Healthcare that's getting harder to afford and harder to access. And the message coming out of our governor's office last weekend was a punchline. It wasn't a plan. It wasn't a policy. It was a van circling a parking lot with attack ads on it. That's not leadership — that's noise, and it costs money that could go toward something Texans actually need.
I'm asking you to speak up and make clear that Texas voters deserve a real conversation about real issues — not political theater designed to generate headlines. Call on state leadership to use this election season to talk substance: what are we doing about the cost of living, about our schools, about making sure Texans can see a doctor? Stand up and say publicly that voters in this state deserve better than stunts, and commit to keeping your own work focused on what your constituents sent you to do.
Texans are watching this election closely, and we want representatives who are focused on us — not on who can put on the best show.
