AUSTIN – The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board met with number one radical Democrat Gina Hinojosa and determined “she not only doesn’t have the right plan to advance Texas, her ideas would hurt the state.”
“During the primaries, The Dallas Morning News gave High Tax Hinojosa their official stamp of approval as the Democratic candidate for Texas Governor. Upon learning the truth about Hinojosa’s half-baked policy proposals and dangerous voting record, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board apparently changed their mind.”
— Catherine Frazier, Texans for Greg Abbott Communications Director
- The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board denied Hinojosa its endorsement in the General Election after supporting her in the primaries, saying, “her two main policy ideas … could do the state great harm,” she “doesn’t have the right plan to advance Texas,” and “Hinojosa, of Austin, is not the answer.” (The Dallas Morning News, The Dallas Morning News Editorial Board, 10/17/26)
