NEW AD: “The Truth” – Hinojosa Works for Families, Abbott Works for Donors
Austin, TX – Today, Democratic nominee for Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa released a new campaign ad, “The Truth.” The seven-figure ad buy highlights Greg Abbott’s failed attempts to distract Texas voters from his record of raising property taxes by 85%, shuttering public schools, and raising electricity bills by $40 a month to benefit his billionaire donors at the expense of working people.
The ad, which will run statewide, acknowledges Greg Abbott’s lies about Hinojosa and highlights how Abbott has sold out Texas communities to data center corporations, made Texas the nation’s leader in business bankruptcies, and forced working families to foot the bill for his corruption.
Despite Abbott’s attacks, Hinojosa is leading the race for Texas governor in back-to-back polls from ReconMR/Siena at 49-45% and NPR/Marist at 49-46%. While Abbott is at the lowest popularity of his career, Hinojosa is winning every coalition needed to win by focusing on the issues that matter most to working Texans. Voters don’t believe Abbott’s lies; they’re ready for change, and they’ll deliver it this November.

By now, you’ve probably seen the attack ads about me. They are lies, plain and simple.
For 30 years, Greg Abbott has been doing the bidding of his billionaire donors.
If you can write him a big check, there is nothing he will not do for you.
No town he won’t sell out, no business he won’t close, no person he won’t leave behind.
I’m Gina Hinojosa, and I want a safe Texas with low taxes where families can afford to get ahead.
Greg Abbott, that’s the truth.
