🧵Here are 5 questions we'd like to see answered by Abbott in the next hour:

3. Abbott is airing an ad in which an audio clip is manipulated to create a statement attributed to Beto O’Rourke, but one that he never stated. Why would a sitting governor need to fabricate claims from his opponent?

4. Abbott provided energy companies with $6.5 billion in ratepayer-backed bonds after the 2021 grid failure. With the #AbbottTax, Texans can expect higher utility bills for decades. Why are Texans picking up the tab for weatherizing the grid, and not utility companies?

5. Texas is dealing with a teacher shortage, underfunded schools, a Child Protective Services department in shambles, and parents worried about the safety of their kids at school. After 30 years of Republican governance, why should parents endorse 4 more?
