Texas Gov. Greg Abbott backing candidate Chris Spencer for Texas House District 1
TEXARKANA, Texas (KSLA) – Governor Greg Abbott made a stop in Texarkana Wednesday morning (May 22) as part of a Get Out the Vote event.
Gov. Abbott was in Texarkana campaigning for Chris Spencer, who is one of the candidates in the May 28 runoff election for the House District 1 seat. He is a Cass County businessman and Republican running against Gary VanDeaver, also a Republican.
The governor made remarks in Spencer’s favor from Lost Pizza Co. on Gibson Lane.
“And what you need for your family and your future, you need someone to go to Austin, Texas and fight for you. And that is what Chris Spencer is going to do,” Gov. Abbott said.
“As your state representative, I will always pray for wisdom and blessings from the Lord and to glorify Him in what I say and what I do,” Spencer said.

The governor spent most of his time blasting the Biden administration and policies, saying he has failed the state of Texas.
“Texas has been known to fight for what we know is right, and we continue that same fighting attitude today as we are fighting back against Joe Biden’s reckless policies that are destroying the United States of America,” he said.
Spencer and Gov. Abbott say now is time to get the vote out.
“Do not put off [voting] tomorrow,” they said.
Early voting is underway, and Election Day is May 28.

An investigation is underway after the Lewisville Police Department said a fetus was found deceased along the Lewisville Lake shoreline Friday morning.
Police said a resident called them to report the discovery around 8 a.m. near Lake Park Road. Officers then began searching for evidence alongside investigators from the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. The scene has since been cleared.
The department said the fetus appeared to have been between five and six months of gestation and appeared to have been intentionally discarded along the shoreline. The medical examiner’s office is now working to determine identity and other characteristics.
