Spending and energy priorities
Patrick criticizes increases in San Antonio’s budget and debt during his opponent’s administration. He also challenges the direction of local climate policy and CPS Energy, arguing that utility decisions should prioritize reliable service for customers.
Business owners’ conscience rights
Patrick revisits the 2019 airport concession decision involving Chick-fil-A and discusses his role as lead plaintiff in a lawsuit against the city. He describes that challenge as a defense of business owners’ conscience rights.
Government that serves the people
Patrick closes by explaining the principle he says would guide his approach: government should serve the people. He connects that principle to financial common sense and the practical effects of public policy.
