On Hello Houston, Gina Hinojosa laid out her plan as governor. Raising teacher pay by cutting vendor contracts, cutting utility costs by making corporations pay their fair share, including data centers, and ensuring every child receives quality healthcare

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Property taxes have gone up 75% under Greg Abbott, but schools are in crisis.

As Governor, I will wipe clean Abbott’s corrupt vendor contracts and put that money back in the classroom.

Dems have been looking for their message for years, and @AnnieAndrewsMD just did it (in under two minutes). Take note 📝

[💕 Brittany Belle 💕 @BrittanyinTexas]

A lot of folks forget… Texas hasn’t always been red. 🤠

When Democrat Ann Richards was governor, Texas ranked 7th in education.

After nearly 30 years of Republican control, Texas now ranks 40th overall in education & 47th in reading.

It’s past time for a change. 🌊

John Cornyn has been in public office longer than I’ve been alive. 

He’s had 40 years to lower the cost of housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and gas.

What’s the hold up?

luv yu... keep kickin' ass !!

Ma’am, you let this ghoul go down on you

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

In 2017, Abbott knew Corpus was running out of water.

But Abbott still gave his Saudi plastics pet project millions of your tax $ to guzzle as much water as ALL the citizens of Corpus Christi use.

His solution now? Make the people of Corpus pay more so his donors can keep chugging cheap water. That’s “The Greg Abbott Corruption Tax.”

Retweet if you support term limits!

Greg Abbott is trying to be the longest serving governor in Texas history.

After 12 years of Greg Abbott, Texans can’t afford another 4 years. Texans want change.

[The Green Dragon Tavern @greendragonhq]

When Texas had a woman as governor, it led the nation in education.

The last three men to “lead” Texas have dwindled their public education rankings to mid- or bottom-tier!

If you need a job done, hire a woman.

This is Mark Walter, owners of the Los Angeles Dodgers. One day after the team blocked ICE from accessing the stadium, the team announced they will be donating $1 million to support immigrant families affected by the Trump Admin.

RETWEET to thank Walter for standing up to Trump!

After 12 years of corrupt Greg Abbott’s reign, it’s time to take back your power TX.

Under the last woman who ran TX, Ann Richards, your state was ranked 7th in education. Now TX ranks 40th overall. @GinaHinojosaTX wants to change that. Vote Blue!

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Greg Abbott makes 5.5 million public school kids take a deeply flawed STAAR test in the name of “accountability” while kids in private school who get a taxpayer-funded voucher get a pass.

That’s wrong.

As a mother with a son in public school, when I’m governor I’ll make it right by ending the STAAR test & the voucher scam.

[mavsmarie @mavsmarie]

we love @GinaHinojosaTX here in the Texas Panhandle!!!!!

If you care about Texas Public Ed, Affordability for ALL, and getting corruption out of Texas, she’s the one to vote for Texas Governor in November.

Pls no more Greg Abbott we are all BEGGING.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Are you better off now than you were 12 years ago?

Most Texans aren't...

...Unless you’re Greg Abbott, or one of his billionaire friends.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Texas is a world economic powerhouse – working Texans built that power. We shouldn’t have to struggle so much to afford basics like a roof over our head or healthcare.

The system under Abbott is working against us. We need a clean slate and a fresh start.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

A governor who takes no responsibility for Texas.

Texas is a world economic powerhouse yet we struggle with the basics:

•Water;
•Grid failure that killed over 700 Texans;
•Most working Texans without access to healthcare.

We work more, we get less under 12 years of Greg Abbott. It’s time for change.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

In Texas, you can always follow the money.

Abbott received major contributions from the same private prisons that run detention centers like the one in Dilley, TX. 

Abbott showed that if he can profit, he doesn't care that children are being detained with their parents.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

When every head has a price tag on it, kids are easy targets & locked up instead of criminals.

Private prison companies now run ICE detention centers driven by profit not public safety.

Greg Abbott takes their BIG $.
This is the corrupt reality we live in Texas.

We've never been afraid of Greg Abbott & we're certainly not afraid of him now.

[Gina Hinojosa @GinaHinojosaTX]

Have you noticed your utility bills going up? Me too.

That's because Greg Abbott wants to reward his billionaire donors by building more data centers on our dime. These buildings are owned by the richest men in the world - they should pay for themselves.
