On numerous occasions, Greg Abbott has accepted large campaign contributions from donors who improperly received taxpayer money with help from Abbott as Attorney General.
- He accepted $1.4 million in campaign donations from recipients of Texas Enterprise Fund money while covering up the fact that the money had never been applied for.
- Abbott looked the other way at the Cancer Research Institute of Texas while companies who had donated to him made off with over $42 million in taxpayer funds.
- After receiving over a hundred thousand dollars in donations from the Koch Brothers, he ruled that the state did not have to disclose to citizens where dangerous chemicals may be stored, putting millions of hardworking Texans families at risk.

He even wants to take away Texans’ rights to elect their own US Senators.
