Abbott champions Texas’ critical aerospace, defense industry
AUSTIN – Gov. Greg Abbott on Thursday championed Texas’ world-renowned aerospace and defense industry and the vital role Texans have to support American national security interests during a fireside chat at the North Texas Commission’s 52nd Annual Members’ Luncheon in Dallas.
“With one of the largest aerospace and civil defense labor forces and as the top state for semiconductor manufacturing in the country, Texas is further ensuring our nation’s security,” Abbott said.
Speaking to a crowd of over 600 North Texas Commission members, state and local officials, and business leaders, Abbott outlined Texas’ fundamental role in American national security and innovation, pointing to the state’s robust aerospace, aviation, and defense industry and advanced semiconductor manufacturing sector.
The governor, joined by former U.S. Secretary of the Army Pete Geren, also highlighted the state’s geographic location as the ideal place to provide timely access to domestic and global markets by air, land, and sea.
“Texas has the innovation, infrastructure, and talent to lead America’s resurgence in the critical technologies of tomorrow,” he said.
