Beeville, TX – Yesterday, Democratic nominee for Texas governor Gina Hinojosa joined Bobby Pulido and James Talarico for a concert in Beeville that shattered the venue’s attendance record with over 2,500 attendees. Momentum is building in Texas’ 15th Congressional District where Trump won by 15 points in 2024 and Hinojosa now leads Greg Abbott by 5 points.
“We have to decide: is this going to be a Texas that is by and for the people, or is this a billionaire’s world and we just live here?” said Hinojosa. “That is the one fight in America. That is the fight for Texas. The fight to decide who Texas belongs to.”
“When I was a little girl growing up in South Texas, I knew who Texas belonged to. It belonged to all of us. Our beloved state, the land of opportunity, where you could be anything you wanted to be if you worked hard.”
The record-breaking turnout comes as momentum continues to build behind Hinojosa – including in deep-red rural Texas – as she travels across the state to hear directly from Texans about the issues affecting their communities.
From Beeville to Centerville to the Panhandle, Hinojosa’s message of saving public schools, putting money in Texans’ pockets, and ending the data center madness is breaking through: recent polls show the governor’s race within the margin of error, while new reporting finds Abbott bleeding support in rural communities as Texans push back against data centers and schools.
