Texas Democratic gubernatorial hopefuls attack Abbott in GOP stronghold

[PDittie]

SAN ANGELO — They were seeking to get their message out to Democratic Party primary voters who can elect them in eight weeks to face off against incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.

They came to a most unlikely place to do so: A West Texas city known for its remoteness, in a county that has steadfastly voted for Republicans for decades.

On Monday night, all 10 Democrats running for governor in the March 6 primary faced off in their first public forum by attacking Abbott for failing Texans on public education, in health care and foster care, on the push to pass the controversial bathroom bill and on expedited disaster relief for victims of Hurricane Harvey.
