Lupe Valdez on her grass-roots campaign: Gov. Greg Abbott may have the money, but 'I have all the people'


FORT WORTH — Lupe Valdez said Friday that she would oust Texas Gov. Greg Abbott from office with a grass-roots movement that would counter the incumbent's campaign money and organization.

"He may have all the money, but I have all the people," Valdez said during a recording of Lone Star Politics, a political television show produced by KXAS-TV (NBC5) and The Dallas Morning News.

Valdez announced this week that she was resigning as Dallas County sheriff to run for governor against Abbott. She must first win the March 6 Democratic Party primary, and she's going to remain sheriff until the Dallas County Commissioners Court meets later this month to pick her interim replacement.

Before the show, Valdez expressed confidence that her underdog campaign would succeed.

Abbott is just plain useless, as are the other stooges, Patrick and Paxton.
