SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Texas\u2019 candidates for governor pushed supporters to the polls Monday as early voting began for the Nov. 3 election.<\/p>\n
Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa brought her statewide \u201cOne Fight\u201d get-out-the-vote tour to Hangar 9 at Brooks on San Antonio\u2019s South Side. Republican Gov. Greg Abbott campaigned at Old Texas Brewing Co. in Fort Worth as part of his \u201cLet\u2019s Roll\u201d tour.<\/p>\n
Hinojosa\u2019s campaign has focused on public education and helping Texans manage the cost of living.<\/p>\n
She has proposed a one-time $1,500 payment to every Texas household, funded through the state\u2019s rainy day fund. Her campaign estimates the proposal would cost $17 billion. It would require legislative approval.<\/p>\n
Abbott, meanwhile, promoted his economic record and affordability agenda, including property tax relief, while urging voters to support Republicans throughout the ballot.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is so important to me, and I know it\u2019s important to you. That\u2019s why this is my first campaign stop on Get Out the Vote effort,\u201d Abbott told supporters in Fort Worth.<\/p>\n
\u201cTogether we\u2019re going to keep Tarrant County red. We\u2019re going to keep Texas red. And we are going to keep Texas, Texas.\u201d<\/p>\n
Abbott also encouraged supporters who had already voted to contact friends and family and remind them to cast their ballots.<\/p>\n
Early voting continues through Oct. 30. Election Day is Nov. 3. Voters can find polling locations, hours and sample ballots on the Bexar County Elections website.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO \u2014 Texas\u2019 candidates for governor pushed supporters to the polls Monday as early voting began for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":471318,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[82,84,83],"class_list":["post-471317","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio","tag-san-antonio-headlines","tag-san-antonio-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471317","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=471317"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/471317\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/471318"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=471317"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=471317"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=471317"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
