Gov. Greg Abbott endorsed state House Rep. Ellen Troxclair Friday in her bid for reelection, telling an overflow crowd he needs her support to continue his work to protect the Texas border.

Making a personal stop in Boerne, Abbott also said the bustling state economy may allow Texas to enter the next legislative session with another $20 billion budget surplus.

“We need your help to return Ellen to Austin, so she can help me secure our borders,” Abbott said to large applause at The Bevy Hotel.
