Latino Democratic leaders are urging the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) to invest $10 million in Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa, who is currently leading Republican Gov. Greg Abbott by three percentage points according to a recent poll. The campaign faces significant financial disparity, with Abbott and his allies outspending Hinojosa by about 10-to-1. Former HUD Secretary Julián Castro has joined the call for increased DGA support, emphasizing that Hinojosa's strength in Texas should prompt urgent investment from Democratic leadership.

Story summary
Latino Democratic leaders are urging the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) to invest more heavily in Gina Hinojosa's campaign for Texas governor against incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott. A recent New York Times/Siena College poll showed Hinojosa leading Abbott by three points, within the poll's margin of error. However, Hinojosa faces a significant financial disadvantage; her opponents are outspending her by about 10-to-1. Over seventy Latino Democratic leaders from across the country sent a letter urging DGA chair Andy Beshear to provide $10 million in support for Hinojosa's campaign. This push comes as Democrats see Texas becoming more competitive, despite President Trump winning the state by nearly 14 points in 2020. Former San Antonio mayor and presidential contender Julián Castro also called for significant DGA backing of Hinojosa on social media.

The renewed pressure comes as Democrats increasingly see the Lone Star state as competitive in the closing weeks of the campaign, even as Hinojosa continues to face a substantial spending disadvantage --- what some Republicans are describing as a "firewall" --- in a state that President Trump won by nearly 14 points in 2024.
