Democratic Nominee for Texas Governor Gina Hinojosa: ‘Big, Reputable Polls’ Show We’re Beating Greg Abbott

EXCERPT:

HINOJOSA: “Well, it’s what we’re hearing and seeing all across the state is that people want change. People know who’s been in charge for the last 12 years, it’s Greg Abbott. They know that their life is harder than it was 12 years ago. And so, that’s an opportunity for us. It’s not that people all of a sudden are Team Democrat, unfortunately, it’s that people just want something different from what this is and that creates this opportunity to win. We now have two polls in two weeks that show we are beating Greg Abbott, big, reputable polls, and that tracks with all the polling. We have closed the gap from 9 points down at the end of last year when we launched. We’ve gone up against big, big money. Greg Abbott had $100 million in his campaign war chest when we launched. He spent a lot of it and here we are just getting closer and closer. So, we’re trending in the right direction, and we are doubling down to win in November.”
