Friday on The Chad Hasty Show, Governor Greg Abbott joined the broadcast to talk about important issues in the state of Texas, including priority items in the 87th Texas Legislature.
Abbott and Hasty discussed possible reforms to the use of emergency powers, the importance of election integrity, and more.
While speaking about the extreme importance of citizens having faith in the election system, Abbott said,
We must have confidence and trust the elections in Texas, and that's why this is an emergency item. Because, listen, if we don't have trust and confidence in our democracy, everything else about government fails.
