Most agree that Texas has made progress in recent decades improving air quality. Joshua Blank, research director for the Texas Politics Project said Friday,"It feels like a pretty normal Texas election in a lot of ways given the fact that, and part of that is to say, it's not as though we're seeing dramatic shifts in the electorate that would make you think this is going to be something different or off the trend line or unusual.

But the state in the past several years failed to take advantage of all the options available to reduce contamination, said Elena Craft, associate vice president for climate and health for the Environmental Defense Fund. Craft argued that large-scale change needed to be applied to a broad number of activities.

"It's possible to achieve these standards, and it's possible to reduce ozone even in places like Houston," Craft said."At the same time, it requires that (Texas Commission on Environmental Quality staffers) do their job in terms of putting together plans and inventories that are grounded in sound science, and it requires the agency holding polluters accountable. Blank said,"I think ultimately the national storyline has won out over the local storyline. The UT-Texas Politics Project did that showed Abbott with a 5-point lead.

EXPLAINER: If you're seeing more text alerts on Houston air quality, you're not alone."I believe there's a story under the surface that isn't being told, but I think will be told on election day. Here's what to know. Experts explained that in the early years there were easy fixes for cutting ozone by stopping leaks at industrial facilities and putting in new technology to reduce air pollution. "For most people, they've been voting with their abortion politics all along and this just becomes incorporated in the environment, which really means the chance for a seismic shift is really limited when you consider it that way," Blank said.
