Texas Governor Greg Abbott has at least one Democrat challenger in next year's race for Governor.

Texas State Representative Gina Hinojosa announced her run on Wednesday morning

So, who is Gina Hinojosa?

Texans for Greg Abbott today released the following statement from Campaign Manager Kim Snyder on radical Gina Hinojosa’s out-of-touch record and extreme agenda:

“Gina Hinojosa has proven that she is out of step with Texans. She sides with the defund-the-police movement, supports men competing in women’s sports, backs harmful child modification procedures, embraces reckless open border policies, and opposes critical bail reform that keeps dangerous criminals behind bars. Time and again, Gina Hinojosa chooses woke, extreme ideologies over the safety and security of Texas families.
