EL PASO, Texas (Border Report) – Border security takes center stage in George P. Bush’s first campaign ad for attorney general of Texas.
The ad features members of the National Border Patrol Council and outlines the Texas Land Commissioner’s plans to make a dent on drug and migrant smugglers should he succeed in ousting incumbent Attorney General Ken Paxton.
The plan calls for working with the Governor’s Office to deploy more National Guard troops to the Texas-Mexico border, toughening prosecution and penalties on smugglers and bringing about more border wall construction.
Bush declared his intention to run for attorney general last summer. Around that time, a University of Texas/Texas Tribune poll showed that immigration and border security were the top concerns among Texas voters.
