Before you head out to enjoy your Fourth of July, please read this:
Where liberty dwells, there lies my country.” – Benjamin Franklin
George,
Happy Independence Day!
Before you head out to enjoy your Fourth of July celebrations, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the significance of this holiday.
248 years ago, the courageous actions of a few brave Founding Fathers brought forth the liberty and opportunity we enjoy today in our nation. Today, we not only celebrate their legacy and honor, but we also celebrate every American who has fought to keep the United States of America the greatest force for freedom in history.
America is the land of the free, because of the brave.
May we never take America’s prosperity for granted, and may we always remember the many brave men and women who have sacrificed so much to protect and defend our great nation.
I wish you, your family, and your friends a joyous and safe Independence Day celebration, George.
Hi, this is Greg Abbott. Whether you were born in Texas, moved here yesterday, or are following along from afar, I’m glad you’re here.
If you didn’t know, a tree fell on me while I was out jogging in my 20s and left me paralyzed from the waist down. Supported by my family and faith, I pulled through that difficult time and recognized life is defined not by the challenges we face, but by how we respond to those challenges.
This rings true for our state and its people, too.
Texas has always been a land of freedom and opportunity. Since we won our independence as a sovereign nation in 1836, Texas has been the natural home for entrepreneurs, adventurers, pioneers, and leaders. My job as Governor of Texas is to defend the values that keep Texas #1! We are off to a great start.
Since I became Governor, Texas has added more than 2 million new jobs. We’re home to over 3 million small businesses that employ nearly half of all working Texans, and we’re #1 for Fortune 500 company headquarters. We’re also #1 for economic development, exports, and jobs created by Black business owners, Hispanic women business owners, and veteran women business owners.
In Texas, everyone can succeed.
My wife Cecilia, the first Hispanic First Lady of Texas, our daughter, Audrey, and I – plus our three Golden Retrievers, Peaches, Pancake, and Honey Butter Chicken Biscuit – love this great state and are proud to call it home. My life is defined by public service, and I’m honored to continue to serve as your Governor.
