Greg Abbott, a Republican running for Texas governor, describes in this ad how an accident left him in a wheelchair, and how he struggled to find new mobility by pushing the chair up the ramps of an eight-story parking garage. “Just one more,” he would tell himself – describing the determined spirit he hopes to bring to the job of governor.
His opponent may have made the ad’s positive tone stand out all the more by launching a wheelchair-related negative ad. The ad by Democratic challenger Wendy Davis has gained heaps of criticism for complaining that after the accident involving Mr. Abbott, “he sued and got millions” and then “spent his career working against other victims.”
