Gregg Abbott: A Brief Analysis

We are proud to introduce the next governor of the great State of Texas, Ms. Jane “Bitzi” Johnson Miller. She is a staunch Conservative Republican whose proud Texan traditions are deep rooted here in the Lone Star State. A native Texan who grew up in West Texas, she comes from a great line of proud Texans including former Governor Joe “Big Daddy” Johnson. Ms. Miller attended Harvard and earned a Master’s in Business Administration. In this difficult and uncertain time of economic recession, she has

The Texas anti-abortion law has taken the country’s attention by storm. It is an issue on many different woman’s minds, especially those who live in the state of Texas. The new laws are forcing many woman to have to cross state lines in order to receive an abortion and medical care. This includes woman who needs abortions due to preexisting medical conditions and those who are carrying fetuses which are diseased and are expected not to be born as healthy babies. The Texas Governor Rick Perry and Senator Ted Cruz are leading the fight for the abortion laws to become permanent, laws that are considered the strictest abortion laws that this country has ever seen.

The Governor of Texas and the President of the United States are both figureheads for their respective territories. Both serve the function of enforcing the laws enacted by their respective legislatures; however, there are a few key differences that distinguish these two powerful entities from each other. It is important to understand the similarities and differences of these two vital establishments, given their importance in the American and Texas government.

As of the pressure being built up from pastoralist and mining companies, John Howard’s Liberal-National Party introduced the ‘Ten-Point Plan’ in May of 1997. The government promoted the plan as clear and simple solution to ’problems’ faced by the industry because of the native title. However, it found to be more problematic and demanding than it first imagined. The Howard Government wanted to clarify to the Aboriginals what grants and rights they had over the land. By doing so, this reduced the amount of native title land that could be claimed by Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islander people. This meant that the Aboriginals and Torres Strait Islanders had to deal with limitations on their ability to negotiate with industries, mining companies

While finishing his second term as Texas attorney general he began his campaign for governor. He was a prime candidate and had made many

Texas governors are not as powerful as some people think. Their personality and appearance matter the most when being considered for a vote. The governor is seen the most rather the other officials, which is why their personality and appearance is so important. Governors used to be able to serve a 2 year term but that changed in 1974. The service term increased by 2 years. Rick Perry was elected in 2000 and is Texas’ longest serving governor. To be an eligible candidate the aspiring governor should be at least 30 years of age. Usually, the governor is a white, mid-age, male. Over time things changed when Miriam Ferguson and Ann Richards were elected. To be a candidate you must also be a U.S. citizen and at least lived in the state 5

Texas is considered a very diverse and unique state in many different aspects. It is the second largest state with more than twenty-six million people residing. People all over the state live in a variety of environments, cities, suburbs, rural areas, you name it. Of course though, like in everything else, there are always both positive and negative things. However, despite the fact that Texas have very high poverty rates and it has the second highest income inequality, Texas is a very interesting state and it has a lot of things that are worth learning about. I learned some things about Texas politics that I thought were very interesting. These topics include the State Constitution and the legislature.

States’ rights, the fight for the unborn and their right to life, and resistance to gun legislation, tend to be some of the top issues for conservative Texas voters. The last time a Democrat carried the state of Texas was in 1976, when Jimmy Carter won the Presidential election. During the 2004 presidential election, then President and Republican candidate, George W. Bush, won with 61.09% against 38.30% votes for the Democratic candidate John Kerry. However, in the more recent Presidential elections that were held in 2008 and in 2012, the very popular Democratic candidate, Barack Obama, did not win the majority vote for Texas. Thus, looking at this information, it can be said that the state of Texas tends to lean more towards the Republican side.

Texas is one of the most powerful states in the union. Texas seems to thrive when other states are going under. Maybe the writers of the New Texas Constitution got it right. If it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

Many people were affected by the decision government Abbott has made, which leads rivalry between the people who are for and against the law making decision. The people who are for this law settlement, are more likely to remove community local laws that control the environment for society. For example, Maren Taylor from Texas Vot wrote that, “The Texas Legislature has decided that the people of cities shouldn’t have the right to protect the communities they.” The point that the communities from each city, will indeed have to understand that state government officials will remove any local control and replace the rules by what the legislative desires for. In most places, the ban of local activity that

Governor Abbott went to the University of Texas and received his B.B.A. in Finance. After attending University of Texas he attended Vanderbilt University Law School and received his law degree. Prior to being the Governor of Texas, Governor Abbott served as a Justice on the Texas Supreme Court and as State District Judge in Harris County. He was also the 50th and longest-serving Attorney General of the State of Texas. Governor Abbott was sworn into office as Texas 48th Governor on January

First is the executive branch. The executive branch is often referred to as a “plural executive” because many of the offices in that branch of government are elected directly by Texas voters. The Executive Department of the State is composed of the Governor, the Lieutenant Governor, the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, the Attorney General and the Secretary of State, all of whom are elected except the Secretary of State (who is appointed by the Governor). The current governor of Texas (48th) is Republican Greg Abbott, a former lawyer and former Attorney General. In order to be the governor of Texas, one must be at least 30 years of age, a US citizen, a registered voter, and must be living in Texas for at least the last 5 years. Being Governor is a 4 year term with no term limits and is a full time job with a salary of $150,000 per year. The Governor has powers including some law enforcement powers, some military powers, the title of “Head of State” who gives the State of the State Address, can appoint department heads like the department head of Park and Wildlife and Department of Transportation, and he

Texas has a reputation throughout history of differing views from the federal government in laws and politics pertaining to social, fiscal, and educational issues. On the whole, Texas operates as a largely conservative state. Because of this, policy-making is often right wing. With the institution of a Democratic, liberal president, the State’s dissent from the Federal government has only increased over certain issues. One hot topic of the 2012 Presidential election was immigration. With the major increase in immigration, it is no surprise that the issue was so emphasized. Between 2000 and 2011 there was a 30 percent

The Australian Labor Party is Australia's oldest political party. I will be comparing the Australian labor party and the liberal party and the greens. In the following paragraph, I will write about the labor party views on common issues in society such as gay marriage, health, and education, in the last paragraph, I compare the differences that the labor party has against another party such as the liberal and the greens. The labor party views on education are to Increased public school funding this is good because schools like ours across Australia can get more money to improve their schools and build new facilities.
