[font color=green]After the buildup that has occurred over the past few days where Greg Abbott said Wendy Davis was clueless about border issues, the commentary by Abbott is pablum for the masses and a real yawner.[/font]
Public service is a public trust. As attorney general, I have prosecuted judges, district attorneys and other public officials across Texas who violated that trust, who have been corrupted.
While most all who serve the citizens of Texas do so honorably, left ignored, a virus can quickly spread.
This corruption wherever it occurs erodes the social fabric of our communities and destroys Texans trust and confidence in government.
As your attorney general and hopefully as your future governor my job is to ensure your families are safe and your opportunities for prosperity are many. That job includes tackling the problem of corruption by public officials.
