AUSTIN — Gina Hinojosa called a proposal to allow armed guards at schools “ludicrous” and voted to strip from schools critical safety measures that protect our students. This is yet another example of Gina Hinojosa refusing to take every necessary action to safeguard our kids and secure our schools.
“While Governor Abbott crisscrosses Texas listening to the most vital issues facing Texans, Gina Hinojosa continues to dodge her deplorable legislative record. Among Gina’s egregious votes – her refusal to take every measure possible to ensure the safety of school children. Not only did Gina vote against putting armed guards at schools, but she called efforts to protect students ‘ludicrous.’”
