As attention turns to the very real possibility that the Texas House could flip to blue, I’m reminded of Gina Hinojosa’s repeated statements in interviews about how she would govern if she won. At TribFest this year she said if she won, she’d still be dealing with a Republican-controlled Legislature that would constrain what she could accomplish. Even if the House does flip, she faces headwinds in the state Senate.
In her campaign speech tonight, she says she still plans to work across the aisle.
“We did not end one era of single party rule to usher in another,” she said.
