In response to Dan Patrick’s press conference, Lone Star Project Director Matt Angle released the following statement:
“Any statement by Dan Patrick on the health and safety of Texas children should start with an apology for those he has let die on his watch.
“Since Patrick took office, nearly 800 Texas kids have died due to abuse or neglect while in the care of Child Protective Services. Patrick has served in five legislative sessions and has done nothing to help these Texas kids. Patrick’s top ten list of priorities specifically excludes fixing the failed Child Protective Services system.
“Dan Patrick’s only real priority is his political career. There’s no Texan he won’t exploit or neglect to advance himself.”
Matt Angle is founder and director of the Lone Star Project, a Texas Democratic political research and strategic communications PAC.
