TAX HIKER HINOJOSA SUPPORTS GREEN NEW DEAL REGULATIONS THAT WOULD DECIMATE TEXAS JOBS, ENERGY, AND PUBLIC SCHOOL FUNDING
AUSTIN — Since 2019, Gina Hinojosa has championed bringing the radical Green New Deal to Texas, threatening hundreds of thousands of Texas energy jobs, draining billions of dollars in funding for public schools, and creating new taxes on an industry that powers the Texas economy.
“Gina’s Green New Deal is nothing but a bad deal for Texans. It would kill Texas energy jobs, and levy a new tax on an industry that funds everything from education to transportation to border security and beyond. Texans want good jobs and good schools. Tax Hiker Gina wants socialism – no matter the cost to Texans.”
— Catherine Frazier, Texans for Greg Abbott Communications Director
