Hinojosa on PoliticsNation: “After 30 Years of Greg Abbott, Texans Are Struggling More, Not Less”
Hinjosa: “There is buyer’s remorse in a big way in Texas because people are struggling in this economy.”
Austin, TX – Coming off big events in Dallas over the weekend, Gina Hinojosa joined Rev. Al Sharpton on PoliticsNation last night to discuss Democrats’ growing momentum among Latino voters and the national implications of the Texas Governor’s race as the Greg Abbott Corruption Tax continues to hurt Texans’ pocketbooks.
“After 30 years of Greg Abbott, Texans are struggling more, not less,” Hinojosa said. “We have a plan to save Texas schools, to bring down the costs of utilities, and also to rein in the health insurance companies that charge us more and give us less.” Hinojosa discussed how Greg Abbott’s record has led to Texas leading the nation in the most uninsured people, the most uninsured children, and the most homes being disconnected from their electricity.
Hinojosa added, “There are national stakes at play here because Texas will gain 4 to 5 more congressional seats at the end of this decade, with the new census. If we do not flip by the end of the decade, there cannot be democratic control of Congress or the White House – so the fate of the union depends on Texas. They can’t pass rigged maps if they have a governor who will veto them.”
