\nTexas Governor Greg Abbott
\nNamed ?Best Governor in the Nation? in 2020\, Governor Greg Abbott continues to build on his record as
\na strong conservative leader who fights to preserve Texas values and ensure the Lone Star State remains
\nthe best place to raise a family\, build a business\, and create greater opportunity for all.
\nTexas works when Texans work:
\nUnder Governor Abbott?s careful stewardship of the ninth-largest economy in the world\, the Lone Star
\nState added more than 1 million new jobs during the first five years of his administration and led the
\nnation in job creation for 2019.
\nWith the Governor?s unwavering commitment to expanding opportunity for all hardworking Texans\, the
\nLone Star State is the top state for attracting job-creating capital investments and is among the top
\nstates for jobs created by African American\, Hispanic\, women\, and veteran business owners.
\nAddressing the state?s most pressing issues:
\nAs the nation and the world continue to battle the global pandemic\, Governor Abbott is working to build
\na healthier\, safer\, freer\, and more prosperous future for all Texans.

\nkeeping our schools safe\; combatting human trafficking\; and improving disaster preparedness and
\nresponse. Other notable successes included protecting free speech on campus\, ensuring medical care
\nfor babies born alive after attempted abortions\, banning red light cameras\, and more.
\nThese build on Governor Abbott?s prior legislative successes making Texas even freer\, stronger\, safer\,
\nand smarter: investing in critical border security\; reforming the child protective system\; investing more
\nin early and higher education\; cutting billions in taxes to stimulate job growth\; reining in regulatory
\nregimes that strangle innovation\; improving Texas roads\; and expanding protection of Texans?
\nconstitutional rights.

\nTexas communities and children. He also previously served as a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court and
\nas a State District Judge in Harris County.
\nA native Texan and avid sportsman and hunter\, Governor Abbott was born in Wichita Falls and raised in
\nDuncanville. After graduating from The University of Texas at Austin\, he earned a law degree from
\nVanderbilt University Law School.
\nShortly after graduating from law school\, he was partially paralyzed by a falling tree while jogging. From
\nhis faith and family\, he gained strength\, recognizing ?our lives are not defined by our challenges\, but by
\nhow we respond to them.?
