Fort Worth, TX \u2013 Yesterday, Democratic nominee for Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa met with voters, community and faith leaders to discuss the community\u2019s most pressing issues, including rising costs, Tarrant County Commissioners\u2019 efforts to close hundreds of voting sites ahead of November, and Greg Abbott\u2019s call for two special elections in the midnight hour.<\/p>\n

Hinojosa began her day at a voting rights roundtable<\/a>, addressing plans by the Tarrant County Commissioners Court to eliminate nearly half<\/a> of the county\u2019s polling sites. Joining Tarrant County Commissioners Alisha Simmons and Roderick Miles \u2013 who are leading efforts to counter Tarrant County\u2019s voter suppression \u2013 Hinojosa detailed her plan to defend ballot access.<\/p>\n

\u201cInflation and the cost of living were also top of mind Tuesday,\u201d reported<\/a> NBC 5 Dallas. Hinojosa added she is committed to \u201creducing property taxes as much as we can, and the place where we find funding is to eliminate all those corporate giveaways, as [they have] really underpinned our economic development in this state.\u201d<\/p>\n

In Fort Worth, Hinojosa joined a roundtable with Black pastors focused on local community concerns, where they discussed voter suppression and healthcare access, particularly for children. Hinojosa pledged that as governor, she would protect every Texan\u2019s right to vote and expand healthcare coverage for every Texas child.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Closing out the day with a standing-room-only crowd<\/a>, Hinojosa held a rally in Fort Worth. She framed Tarrant County as \u201cGround Zero\u201d<\/a> in the fight to preserve the American Dream and highlighted her focus on saving neighborhood public schools and putting money in Texans\u2019 pockets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hinojosa\u2019s Fort Worth rally came off the heels of her joining Bobby Pulido and James Talarico for a concert in Beeville with over 2,500 South Texans. Momentum is building, with new polling showing that Hinojosa is leading Greg Abbott<\/a> in Texas\u2019 15th, 28th, and 34th congressional districts \u2013 all of which Trump won by over 10 points in 2024.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

All over Texas, Hinojosa\u2019s message of saving public schools, putting money in Texans\u2019 pockets, and ending the data center madness is breaking through: recent polls<\/a> show the governor\u2019s race within the margin of error, while new reporting<\/a> finds Abbott is bleeding support<\/a> in rural communities<\/a> as Texans push back against data centers and school vouchers.<\/p>\n
