Governor's Initiatives
“We
must seek higher ground that will continue to elevate Texas not just as
a leader in this nation, but as a leader in this world.”
- Governor Greg Abbott

Educating Texans
Texas is exceptional, and our education
system must be too. Gov. Abbott wants next year’s pre-kindergarten
class to graduate from high school in the top ranked school system in
the nation. Gov. Abbott will promote a culture of aspiration and
achievement in our schools by setting expectations of excellence for
our children, our teachers, our principals and our parents, and then
giving educators the flexibility to achieve them.
Working Texans
Job creation is the lifeblood of our
state, pumping income into the pockets of families and providing
opportunity, dignity and purpose to workers. The building block of a
strong economy is an environment where entrepreneurs and workers have
the freedom to aspire, to innovate, to grow, and to prosper. Gov.
Abbott will promote policies that keep Texas number one in the nation
for creating jobs.
Fiscal Responsibility
Texas families have to live within their
means and so should our state government. Gov. Abbott has proposed
reforms to control the growth of government including a tighter
spending cap tied to inflation and population growth, expanded
line-item veto authority so the Governor can act to rein in spending and
protection of our Rainy Day Fund.
We The People
The Constitution is the cornerstone of
our democracy, and “We the People” are the foundation of our governing
principles. Gov. Abbott will protect the freedoms guaranteed to us by
our Creator and enumerated in the Constitution. He will act to protect
Texans’ private information, strengthen Second Amendment rights, guard
Texas against federal government overreach and strengthen ethics laws
for government officials.
Securing Texas
There is no greater priority than
protecting our citizens, families and communities. Gov. Abbott will do
what the federal government has failed to do and secure our border. He
will keep out drug cartels and gangs that import crime to our state,
protecting your right to be safe in your own home, protecting your
children in their schools and enforcing the rule of law.
Healthy Texans
Texas has an economic model that has
made us number one in the nation for job creation, but there are still
some in our state who struggle, in part because of health care
challenges. Gov. Abbott will work to ensure a healthier tomorrow for
more Texas families by expanding access and improving care so even more
Texans can have quality healthcare.
Energy and Environment
Texas’ diverse energy sector is critical
to our economy and to American energy independence. Gov. Abbott is
committed to building the roads and water infrastructure critical to
allowing energy producers in Texas to continue to grow and prosper,
while creating even more opportunity in Texas. Gov. Abbott will protect
this vibrant industry, while protecting Texas’ wealth of natural
resources.
