Gina Hinojosa Will Be Texas’s First Democratic Governor in Decades. Republicans Won’t Make It Easy.
A New York Times article by Lauren McGaughy reports that Texas Democrats, led by governor-elect Gina Hinojosa, swept Tuesday's elections, unseating Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, and Dan Patrick after two decades of Republican control. It says Hinojosa promises affordability measures and reversals of Abbott's orders, while Republican senators threaten to block her appointees and bills.
