STATEMENT: Hinojosa Calls on Greg Abbott to Accept October Debate

Austin, TX – Today, Gina Hinojosa released the following statement after officially accepting the invitation for a Texas gubernatorial debate hosted by NBCUniversal Studios in Texas and Hearst Newspapers in Texas. The one-hour debate will be held on Thursday, October 15th in Fort Worth and broadcast across the state in English and Spanish. 

“Texans deserve to hear a vision of Texas where we save our public schools and put money into people’s pockets. They deserve to believe in a Texas that rewards hard work and takes care of its people. Greg Abbott has spent twelve years showing us what he thinks Texans deserve: more data centers, fewer schools, and endless contracts for his billionaire donors to get rich off our tax dollars. 

“Abbott owes it to voters to have a real debate about who has a stronger vision for the future of our great state.”
