Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke announced earlier this week that he will continue his People of Texas Campaign in May by hosting a series of town halls – including one in Boerne – focused on creating a "state that is affordable for every Texan."
Information from his campaign office stated O’Rourke is set to hold five town halls as he brings people together around a positive, popular and unifying vision for a state that every Texan can afford to live in, work in, raise their kids in and be healthy in.
“Under Greg Abbott’s failed leadership, Texas has become unaffordable for too many,” the press release stated. “Property taxes have skyrocketed by $20 billion since he took office. His latest political stunt at the border also drove up inflation while killing jobs, crushing businesses and costing Texas more than $4.2 billion. This followed Abbott’s grid failure that resulted in Texans paying an average of $42 more per month on their utility bills for the coming decades.”
