Braddock: Abbott attacks Hinojosa on property tax legislation that failed when Speaker Burrows did not defend the work of his GOP members

Democrats including Hinojosa joined with conservative Republicans Tony Tinderholt, Mitch Little, and others to defeat one of the key bills now highlighted by the governor’s campaign. The real story is House leadership was rolled by the Senate the same way Burrows surrendered to Patrick on school finance and THC last year

For at least a month, Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaign has carpet bombed Texas with TV commercials putting the blame for rising property taxes solely on local governments, most of which are run by Republicans.

This week Abbott shifted and took direct aim at his Democratic opponent Rep. Gina Hinojosa, announcing a $12 million ad buy claiming she voted 40 times in favor of higher property taxes. So far Abbott is up to nearly $40 million spent on paid media while Hinojosa says she’s raised $20 million.

Now, the truth is always the first casualty in any real campaign. Y’all know that. But an objective examination of just one of those 40 property tax votes might reveal some of the reasons this scorched-earth campaign might not be working.

Lt. Gov. Patrick tells supporters that some of his senators and GOP candidates for Texas Senate are trailing democrats, per sources

Patrick also apparently said he and Abbott are both in tight races while Paxton is tied with Talarico

Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick told supporters on Wednesday afternoon gathered for a fundraiser upstairs at the Austin Club that two of his GOP senators are in tough races and his candidate in Tarrant County is trailing the Democrat. That’s according to some in attendance today along with some Texas Senate sources who told Quorum Report yesterday about some polling leaking out from the Senate GOP Caucus in the last 48 hours.

Patrick also talked about his own race as well as Gov. Greg Abbott’s campaign against Rep. Gina Hinojosa, per attendees, telling the crowd that if the election were held today both he and Gov. Abbott would win their races “as long as everything goes right.”

He also said AG Ken Paxton is essentially tied with Rep. James Talarico.

During the fundraiser, we’re told Patrick focused on three Texas Senate races as well. Here’s the breakdown:

Republican poll of Tarrant County voters shows Sen. Rehmet with commanding lead over GOP challenger Wambsganss

The numbers from a GOP pollster reveal an environment in which Tarrant Republicans may be rattled on election day; they’ve already been battening down the hatches and County Judge O’Hare is portraying himself as a “bipartisan” problem solver

Now and again, Quorum Report has published the results of polls without revealing how we got the numbers and without publishing the polling memo. It’s not our usual MO and it frustrates professional pollsters. When to do it, it’s a judgement call, for sure.

We’re doing it again today but not without first offering a prime example of how it can help your understanding of the shape of a campaign.
