Pros

Follower usually of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis on many important issues

Cons

Did not participate in our process (automatic 50 point deduction)
Is/Was an ineffective leader in getting all of the GOP legislative priorities passed in last years legislative session and still refuses to call a 4th session to address Unconstitutional Vax Mandates and Childhood gender modification;
Roundly booed at the January 29th Trump Rally in Montgomery County
Abbotts opponents weigh in on key issues;
Blames Biden for vaccine mandates of National Guard;
His "hotline" to report illegal company vaccine requirements was unbelievably just a phone number to the unemployment office(Texas Workforce Commissioner). • Had Shelly Luther (Salon Owner)prosecuted, w/$1,000/day fines until public outcry;
Montgomery County GOP unanimously CENSURED Abbott (Rule 44) for government overreach, including unilaterally spent $300 million on contact tracing;
Unprepared(negligent) for February 2020 statewide freeze, despite at lease two warnings that power grid was problematic;
Changed the drop-off mail ballot from 1 day to 62 days;
Lone Star State is leading in business bankruptcy filings; Texas economy falls behind Florida and California
Abbott’s version of “continuing construction” of the wall is but an ineffective chain link fence. Texas border still unsecured. Has done nothing about finishing the Wall, until he got legit challengers;
Allegedly behind the decision to keep the 2020 GOP Convention out of Montgomery County, after Houston cancelled;
OverseesTexas Department of Family and Protective Services, that hosted a webpage dedicated to “helping empower and celebrate lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, intersex, asexual, ally, and non-heterosexual (LGBTQIA+) youth, their peers, and family.”
Received 100's of thousands of dollars for Gender Modiication Signed Bill that changed election law making election fraud a misdemeanor (instead of a felony).
Under Abbott's (lack of) leadership, legislature took several sessions to pass voter integrity, to only then see voter fraud reduced from a felony to a misdemeanor that he signed into law
Led the railroaded RUD conviction of conservative Adrian Heath
