ICYMI: Hinojosa on Jen Psaki: Texans Know We Deserve Better Than Greg Abbott

Hinojosa: “People are so motivated for change in Texas. The timing is right in 2026, and we’re going to make the most of it.”

Austin, TX – This week, Gina Hinojosa joined The Briefing with Jen Psaki to discuss what’s at stake in the governor’s race this November and why Texans are ready and able to finally end Greg Abbott’s tenure of failed policies.

“[Republicans] don’t have much to offer,” Hinojosa said. “They’ve been in charge for 30 years. Greg Abbott has been in office since I graduated from high school.”

She added, “People are tired of politics as usual. We know Texas is a world economic powerhouse, and we know we deserve better. That’s what we’re seeing in the polling, and that’s what we’re seeing on the ground. Texas is in play in a big way.”

With polling already showing a tight race and Democrats winning historic elections in traditionally Republican areas, Texans are making it clear: they’re ready to send Gina Hinojosa to the governor’s mansion this November.
