Austin, TX – Today, Democratic nominee for Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa released the following statement for Labor Day:
“Texas is a world economic powerhouse because of the grit of hardworking Texans who built it. The strength of Texas comes from its working people, and today, we recognize their contributions and the workers who came before us, fighting for fair wages and safer, better working conditions.
“This election is about the people of Texas vs. billionaires, and I know which side I’m on. Greg Abbott has spent over a decade siding with corporate bosses and weakening workers’ power. As governor, I’ll stand with workers on the picket line, fight for the right to organize, and secure the American Dream for Texans.”
Hinojosa has spent her career fighting alongside organized labor to win better wages, stronger protections, and a fair shot for working families. She understands that when labor wins, the middle class wins, and now, is running for governor to secure the American Dream for all Texans.
