EL PASO, TEXAS (KFOX14\/CBS4) \u2014 With less than a week before Election Day, Democratic candidate for Texas governor Gina Hinojosa made a campaign stop in El Paso as candidates in Texas races make final visits to the city to try to sway undecided voters.<\/p>\n
Hinojosa held a rally at the EPIC Railyard event center in central El Paso on Wednesday as part of what was described as her \u201cOne Stop Tour,\u201d one of her last opportunities to speak directly with voters in the city before Election Day.<\/p>\n
\u201cI don’t speak for Democrats, I speak for my campaign, and what I’m seeing is that people want change. People realize there is one fight, there’s one fight. Is this going to be a Texas by and for the people, or is this the billionaires’ world and we just live here?\u201d Hinojosa said.<\/p>\n
Hinojosa is running in a close race for governor against Republican incumbent Greg Abbott. During the rally, she made claims against Abbott and his ties with trillionaire Elon Musk.<\/p>\n

She also highlighted issues she said Texans are facing, including high property taxes and data centers, and said she would seek to save Texas public schools by firing Mike Morath, commissioner of the Texas Education Agency, on day one if elected.<\/p>\n
Supporters at the rally said her message resonated.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe’ve got a lot of votes here. We need to get them out,\u201d a supporter said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m very excited. I\u2019m hopeful that Texas could elect the first Latina to be governor of Texas,\u201d one supporter said.<\/p>\n
Another supporter said, \u201cIt makes me really proud that everyone’s showing up. It makes me feel like social media is doing some good, maybe getting the word out, getting these people out there.\u201d<\/p>\n
Election Day is in six days on Nov. 3. <\/p>\n
