He claimed that the majority of people who are moving here from New York, California and other states are my voters because they have moved here after seeing our government policy and the growth of Texas.

He said that there is less than two months left for early voting and the purpose of my coming here today is to inform you about my performance and other important facts.

This election is very important; the results will answer all your questions and will be important for the future of Texas for the next 20 to 25 years.
