Republican gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott says in new, Spanish-language ads that businesses are leaving California for Texas, where regulations are reasonable and taxes are low.

"Greg Abbott's jobs plan will build on that," says Abbott's fourth Spanish-language TV ad.

He also launched a radio version of the ad. The ads will air on Spanish-language TV and radio statewide, according to Abbott's campaign.

The ads come as Abbott is preparing a campaign swing through the heavily Hispanic Rio Grande Valley. His agenda includes a Friday debate with Democrat Wendy Davis. 

Wait! We need your help.

More than 2 million people read Texas Tribune articles every month, but only 12,000 of those readers also donate to support the news they count on. Not even 1% of readers! If you are one of the 99% of Texas Tribune readers who hasn’t made a donation before in support of independent Texas news, you can change that today. A small donation makes a big impact.

Our Spring Member Drive is an important time to help our newsroom plan for what resources will be available for them to tackle longer investigations and bigger projects later this year. Texas Tribune journalists need the support of readers to write the articles, take the photographs and create the data visualizations that impact Texans and Texas policy.

We have a goal to have 500 readers become Texas Tribune members during our Spring Member Drive. As the Tribune member community grows, the journalism you read here is better protected. Will you make a donation today to show your support of independent Texas news?
