What did Gina Hinojosa campaign on in the Texas governor’s race?

Gina Hinojosa campaigned on the economy, improving public schools, and opposing artificial intelligence data centers. Her message appeared to connect especially with Latino voters, who make up Texas’s largest ethnic population. She ran against incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, who had never previously lost an election in Texas and spent more than four times as much on his campaign. Despite those disadvantages, Hinojosa scored a stunning upset, winning the election by seven points.
