EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 Texas Gov. Greg Abbott visited El Paso on Thursday, urging residents to participate in the upcoming election. <\/p>\n

Speaking at a press conference at the Riviera Cocina & Cantina on Doniphan, Abbott emphasized the importance of voting on several key issues this November. <\/p>\n

“One is focusing on what’s called fixing the broken pal system,” Abbott said, criticizing “leftist judges” for releasing individuals accused of serious crimes. <\/p>\n

He urged voters to support Proposition 3, which aims to keep dangerous criminals behind bars while awaiting trial. <\/p>\n

Abbott also addressed Texas’s water supply challenges, stating, “We’re using $20 billion, not a single penny more in taxpayer money,” to improve the state’s water infrastructure. <\/p>\n

He explained that half of the funds would repair leaking pipes, while the other half would develop new water sources. <\/p>\n

Early voting in El Paso is underway and will continue until Oct. 31, with the election set for Nov. 4.<\/p>\n
