Brandon Gill is running on pure hatred.
Abbott's new 'Transition Your Kids – or Face Prosecution' ad rests on Hinojosa's vote against HB 1106, a bill saying it isn't child abuse for a parent to refuse a child's pronouns. Voting no on it allowed nothing — it passed, and Abbott signed it. In 2022, Abbott himself ordered the state to investigate parents of transgender kids for child abuse.
Nine days before the election, Abbott told Fox News his Democratic opponent backs Sharia law because the Council on American-Islamic Relations endorsed her — a group he branded a terrorist organization with reasons lifted from an anti-Muslim think tank's report.

On a 2022 podcast, hosts read Brandon Herrera a news report about a disabled 2-year-old from Greenville, Texas, with his name who was whipped and beaten to death. Herrera, now the Republican nominee in Texas's 23rd District, joked he could have been killed and 'brought back on the third day to be the AK Jesus.'
Ken Paxton's TV ad shows James Talarico saying 'If you are OK with getting taxed more, you are welcome to join this movement.' FactCheck.org found the ad cut out who he was talking to — wealthy people — and that its claims about income taxes and property taxes misdescribe one vote and leave out others.
Records from Ken Paxton's 2023 impeachment show his so-called blind trust invested $600,000 in a company built by a man who had just finished a federal prison sentence for mortgage fraud. The company then wired the Paxtons more than $83,000 in six months while it fell behind on taxes owed to local schools.
Forget the slogans. Judged by what they voted for, what they did, and what they refused to stop, this is what Republicans in Congress stand for, on 20 issues, with the receipts.
