Gina Hinojosa for Governor of Texas
Parent organization says Hinojosa’s proven track record fighting for schoolchildren
makes her the clear choice to lead Texas
Texas children and families need and deserve to have Gina Hinojosa as Governor of Texas. Representative Hinojosa has served in the Texas House of Representatives since 2017, where she has a track record of fighting to fully fund neighborhood public schools, reduce standardized testing, and give teachers the respect and support they deserve.
“While Greg Abbott has spent years trying to defund public schools and hand our tax dollars to his billionaire donors through voucher schemes, Gina has been in the trenches fighting for every student in every classroom,” said Carolyn Boyle, co-chair of Texas Parent PAC. “Texas parents need a governor who will fight for their children’s future, not greedy special interests pushing tax-funded privatization.”
Hinojosa was born and raised in the Rio Grande Valley. She never planned on running for office, but when her son’s school was threatened with closure by state budget cuts, she rallied parents, won a seat on the Austin Independent School District Board of Trustees, and kept the school open. She went on to serve as president of the AISD board. When neighborhood schools continued closing across Texas because Republican leaders kept diverting money from them, she ran for the Texas House of Representatives and won.
In the Legislature, Hinojosa helped win more than $11 billion in new school funding, reduced standardized testing, and secured raises for teachers. She has consistently stood up against efforts to divert public school funding to private school vouchers and has fought to ensure every Texas child has access to a quality education regardless of their zip code.
Among a range of legislation, Hinojosa has worked to lower childcare costs for working families, increase housing affordability, raise wages, and support job creation and small business growth.
Hinojosa earned her bachelor’s degree from the University of Texas at Austin and her law degree from George Washington University. Before serving in the Legislature, she worked as a civil rights attorney. She and her husband have two sons.
The Texas Legislature will be more effective and independent with a new Governor in 2027, said Texas Parent PAC co-chair Tracy Fisher. “Greg Abbott has caused more harm to public schools than any governor in Texas history.”
Because of the over-arching need to elect a new Texas Governor, Texas Parent PAC is not endorsing legislative candidates in the November 3 General Election and only endorsing Gina Hinojosa for Governor. Texas Parent PAC also is not raising money for the PAC but instead urging supporters of public education to donate directly to the campaign of Gina Hinojosa for Governor!
