Abbott Dings California, Praises Texas in New TV Ad
In his latest TV ad, Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott praised the "Texas Miracle" often touted by GOP state leaders while also attacking California.
The ad featured Abbott moving across a map, going from California to Texas, while saying, "every week businesses leave California to escape high taxes and strangling regulations. They come to Texas."
The ad is also airing on the radio.
Texas Gov. Rick Perry has made news for visiting California and airing ads there that criticize California's regulations, a move Abbott seems to be following. This is not the first ad of Abbott's to references the Texas Miracle.
