Feb 2, 2025 by AFP

AUSTIN, TX — Americans for Prosperity-Texas (AFP-TX) praised Governor Greg Abbott for his State of the State Address today, where he highlighted an agenda for the 89th Texas Legislature focused on expanding education freedom and unleashing Texas’ economy.

Abbott doubled down on his plan for universal school choice and declared it an emergency item for this year’s legislative session so that lawmakers can act swiftly to pass Education Savings Accounts (ESAs) into law. AFP-TX will also support the governor’s other priority legislation areas, including tax reform, border security, and energy abundance.

AFP-TX State Director Genevieve Collins made the following statement: 

“AFP-TX is grateful for Gov. Abbott’s dedication to creating a historic ESA program that will make Texas into a beacon of education freedom and a ‘blueprint for the future of America.’ After years of work with legislators and in neighborhoods across the state, we’re excited to support the governor in getting this transformative legislation across the finish line.

“We’re also excited to work alongside governor and all Texans to lower property taxes, secure the border, and unleash Texas energy. Nearly 200,000 of our activists have voiced their support for these issues, so it’s uplifting to have a governor and legislature laser-focused on the issues most important to Texans. AFP-TX will work diligently with anyone to give Texans more of what they want – more Texas.

“We will continue deploying our army of grassroots activists across the state to advocate for these vital policy solutions and taking names of every legislator who goes against the governor and the will of hardworking Texans.”
