Standing beside Texans who have been negatively impacted by rising costs and Greg Abbott\u2019s corruption, Hinojosa highlighted her plan to secure the American Dream by saving public schools and putting money back in Texans\u2019 pockets while prices skyrocket under Abbott\u2019s leadership.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday, here in San Antonio, I am calling on Greg Abbott to meet me at his Governor\u2019s Mansion.\u201d said Hinojosa. \u201cI will come to him to debate. He needs to stop hiding from the voters. The people of Texas deserve to hear my plan for Texas versus his record for Texas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cMy plan for Texas is to secure the American Dream. The American Dream that I grew up understanding where if you worked hard, you would have a good life. We were the land of opportunity, but it is now out of reach for too many Texans. After 12 years of Greg Abbott, it is harder to make it in Texas than ever before. If you are not man enough to debate me, you don\u2019t deserve to be the governor of Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/image-5-1024x768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2581\" style=\"aspect-ratio:1.3333333333333333;width:364px;height:auto\"  \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Recent campaign finance reports show Greg Abbott has spent $146 million trying to save his flailing reelection campaign, but he still can\u2019t move the needle in his direction.

With just 25 days until the election, Texans are making it clear: they are over Abbott\u2019s corruption and ready for Hinojosa\u2019s leadership in the Governor\u2019s Mansion.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">###<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Austin, TX \u2013 Today, Democratic nominee for Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa held a press conference in San Antonio&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":460662,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[132,134,133],"class_list":["post-460661","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-austin","tag-austin","tag-austin-headlines","tag-austin-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460661","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=460661"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/460661\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/460662"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=460661"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=460661"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=460661"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
