FORT STOCKTON, Texas — Governor Greg Abbott was in Fort Stockton on July 25 for a fundraising event held by the Pecos County Republican Party.
The event was called the 'Pecos County Governor's Hoedown' and it was held at the Civic Center.
"I'm the only candidate for Governor who's fighting for the oil and gas jobs that have made West Texas so prolific," Governor Abbott said. "I'm fighting to secure our border. I'm fighting for safe communities. None of this radical, woke, leftist agenda to defund our police. In fact, I've passed legislation that would defund any city who defunds police."
All of the money raised at the event will go towards the Pecos County Republican Party. The Governor has a special connection to West Texas since his father grew up in our region.
