Governor Abbott promotes affordability agenda amid competitive race in Texas

Greg Abbott is promoting his affordability agenda in Pasadena as his race against Gina Hinojosa has become highly competitive. Abbott's plan centers on cutting property taxes and addressing costs related to health care, insurance, college, and housing. He claims the agenda could cut the average homeowner's property tax bill by as much as 50 percent and save families roughly $3,000 per year.

The affordability agenda proposes specific economic reforms, including eliminating school property taxes for homeowners and introducing an Essential Health Benefits plan. The plan suggests that the health care reform could reduce premiums by nearly 20 percent, potentially saving families $1,150 annually.

Both Gina Hinojosa and Greg Abbott have addressed the high cost of living during their political campaigns.
