A group of lawmakers is urging Gov. Greg Abbott to show his support for Latino interests in his biennial State of the State address. The Mexican American Legislative Caucus used its first-ever State of Latino Texas address to send a message to Abbott that it would work with him during the legislative session if he commits to serving Hispanic interests. The organization is pursuing four major initiatives – higher-paying jobs, protecting public education, preserving veterans’ benefits, and healthy communities.
