Greg Abbott is the 48th Governor of Texas, serving since January 2015. He was re-elected in November 2022 by approximately 11 percentage points. He is the longest-serving Texas governor in modern history. His tenure has been defined by the Operation Lone Star border-enforcement program (March 2021+), abortion restrictions (Texas Senate Bill 8, May 2021; trigger ban post-Dobbs), the February 2021 winter storm Uri response and ERCOT reforms, and high-profile clashes with the federal government over immigration enforcement.
Gregory Wayne Abbott, Texas Governor, has kept 11 of 15 tracked campaign promises, with 3 partial fulfillments and no broken promises on record. His scorecard shows a 73% kept rate among measurable commitments.

The facts available cover only his promise record, not the financial side of his political support.
