As he faces voters again, the two-term Republican governor is wooing Red Raider fans. He also issued a “report to the people” that inflates border security spending and omits cuts to National Guard tuition aid.

After receiving a Republican red-meat introduction from Burrows, who touched on “backing the blue,” border security and election integrity safeguards, Abbott summoned Burrows back to the stage to discuss something they’d begun working on, relatively late in last year’s seemingly nonstop legislative sessions. “I want the state of Texas to create an endowment for Texas Tech University of $1 billion to elevate the university even more,” Abbott said. “Dustin and I, we’re going to work on that.

According to Leeson, Abbott spoke of enhancing Tech merely because “he’s scared Republicans out here will stay home. That’s exactly what it is and everybody knows it.” Abbott spokesman Mark Miner, though, took strong exception. He said Leeson is “seriously misinformed” if he thinks Abbott’s had an election-year conversion to the notion of improving Texas higher education.
