Gov. Greg Abbott and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick handily won their primaries Tuesday, both decisively beating several lesser-known Republican challengers to continue their reelection bids.
“There are activists and liberal politicians who want to turn Texas into a socialist state with more government, more regulation and less freedom, and that will not happen on our watch,” Abbott said in a statement. “We are going to uphold the values our great state was built on, and we’re going to fight to keep Texas, Texas.”
