EMILYs List Endorses Gina Hinojosa for Governor of Texas

Austin, TX — EMILYs List, the nation’s largest resource for women in politics, announced today its endorsement of Gina Hinojosa for Governor of Texas, joining her fight to defeat Greg Abbott and deliver the leadership Texas families deserve.

“I’m so honored to receive EMILYs List’s endorsement, and look forward to fighting alongside them to ensure Texans have a governor who works as hard as they do,” said Hinojosa. “For too long, our state has been held back by a governor who threatens our access to health care, closes our schools, and makes life more expensive, all so his billionaire donors can get richer. As Ann Richards said, ‘In politics, if you want anything done, ask a woman.’ I can’t wait to work with EMILYs List to get this done together.”

EMILYs List has helped elect thousands of Democratic women to office across the country, including governors, senators, and members of Congress. The organization’s endorsement brings national attention and resources to Hinojosa’s campaign to defeat Abbott and restore leadership that puts working families first. This endorsement comes on the heels of the Texas AFL-CIO COPE Committee’s endorsement of Hinojosa, joining leaders and organizations across the state who know Gina is the candidate who can deliver a win in November.

Hinojosa’s campaign is focused on lowering costs for working families, defending public schools, restoring reproductive freedom, and rooting out the corruption that has defined Abbott’s tenure in office.
