Inside the Letter Pressuring DGA Chair to Bet Big on Texas's Latina Gina Hinojosa to Beat Governor Greg Abbott

  • More than three dozen Latino elected officials and organizers want Democratic Governors Association chair Andy Beshear to commit a specific $10 million to Gina Hinojosa's campaign for Texas governor .
  • The letter warns of a second round of Texas redistricting under a re-elected Gov. Greg Abbott, on top of the map Republicans already redrew in 2025, that could put as many as 10 additional Democratic-held seats in play.
  • Hinojosa is running roughly 22 times shorter on cash than Abbott — about $3 million on hand to his $67.4 million — even as the Cook Political Report has moved the race from "solid" to "likely" Republican.
  • Beshear won't name a dollar figure publicly, arguing that doing so would tip off Republicans, though he says the DGA is already covering some of Hinojosa's costs.
