STATEMENT FROM TEXAS AGRICULTURE COMMISSIONER SID MILLER BACKING ABBOTT’S DIRECT RESPONSE TO RADICAL PROTESTERS
Friday, June 13, 2025, I fully support Governor Greg Abbott’s decisive move to deploy 5,000 Texas National Guard members and 2,000 DPS troopers across our state in response to the upcoming anti-ICE and so-called ‘No Kings’ protests. Liberal Austin Mayor Kirk Watson does not speak for the people of Texas and his attacks on Governor Abbott are outrageous. This is about protecting Texans, defending our Capitol and other state facilities, protecting our state employees, and upholding the rule of law. I applaud the Governor for demonstrating true leadership by taking action to protect the public before chaos strikes, rather than responding after the fact. Instead of parroting leftist, Soros-generated talking points and defending those who plan to incite violence, Mayor Watson should apologize to Governor Abbott and all law-abiding Texans and leave public safety matters to the professionals.   [More]

This means helping Texas families access healthy food options that will keep them fueled for success, instead of perpetuating a cycle of poor nutrition and chronic illness. I want to thank Senator Mayes Middleton and Representative Stan Gerdes for their strong leadership and commitment to doing what’s right for the people of Texas through Senate Bill 379.  [More]
