AUSTIN – Gina Hinojosa parades around Texas claiming she wants to make the Lone Star State more affordable, but her voting record tells a very different story. During her nearly 10 years in the Texas House of Representatives, Hinojosa voted to strip Texans of their hard-earned money to fund her radical socialist wish list.

“Gina Hinojosa is lying to Texans. Her latest socialist giveaway reeks of desperation and leaves Texans stuck with the bill. To pay for her woke gimmick, Job Killer Gina will reach deeper into Texans’ pockets with taxes, taxes, and more taxes, putting jobs and Texans’ future opportunity at risk. Her voting record proves it: Gina has never met a tax hike she didn’t like. She is far too radical for Texas.”

— Catherine Frazier, Texans for Greg Abbott Communications Director

Gina Hinojosa has never met a tax increase she didn’t like. She is in favor of a state income tax and taxes on retirement account transactions and inheritance.
  • In 2019, Hinojosa voted against the constitutional amendment that banned a state income tax for Texans. HJR 38 (86R)
  • Hinojosa went so far as to claim that Texas needs state income taxes as the “third leg of the stool” in its tax system to fund government programs. “HD 49 Candidate: Gina Hinojosa,” YouTube.com, 2/23/16
  • In 2025, Hinojosa voted against the constitutional amendment banning death taxes on estates and inheritances. HJR 2 (89R)
  • In 2025, Hinojosa voted against prohibiting transactions taxes on Texans’ retirement account and investments. HJR 4 (89R)
Gina Hinojosa voted time and again for tax and spend policies that plague hardworking Texas homeowners, small businesses, and seniors on fixed incomes. Hinojosa didn’t miss a beat. She doubled down and voted more than 40 times with one goal: hike Texans’ property taxes. Notably:
Gina Hinojosa even supported taxes on animal feed.
  • In 2025, Hinojosa had the opportunity to lower costs for Texas farmers and ranchers by removing retail animal feed inventory from property taxes. Instead, she failed to support Texas farmers and ranchers. HJR 99 (89R)
Gina Hinojosa’s empty check scheme is nothing short of a radical socialist scam. Hinojosa’s unaffordability plan would drain the state’s savings account – money set aside for state emergencies and disaster relief.
