Dems invest in Texas: A week ago, I wrote that the Democratic Governors Association was under pressure from prominent Latino Democrats to perceive the Texas gubernatorial election as competitive and to invest in Gina Hinojosa's bid against the Republican incumbent, Greg Abbott.
Now The New York Times reports that "Gov. JB Pritzker of Illinois and the Democratic Governors Association are each sending $1 million to support her bid." This isn't meaningless pocket change for the Hinojosa campaign: "She had just $4 million or so on hand at the end of last month, according to Texas campaign finance reports."
