Gov. Greg Abbott held a meet-and-greet at University Drafthouse in Edinburg on Tuesday, where he delivered remarks to a packed house. 

Abbott spoke to dozens of supporters for about 20 minutes, highlighting his support for Valley educators and taking credit for DHR Health becoming a level-one trauma center in September.

The governor also discussed Beto O'Rourke during his Edinburg visit. Though others are running, Abbott said he believes O'Rourke is the main political danger to the state's future.
