Gas Prices Soaring in Texas: Hinojosa vs. Abbott in Governors Race

In the Texas governors race, Democratic candidate Gina Hinojosa is criticizing incumbent Greg Abbott for not addressing the surging gas prices, which hit four dollars a gallon on May seventh. Hinojosa is advocating for a suspension of the states gas tax to alleviate the burden on everyday Texans. She also targets policies around data centers, claiming they shift costs to working families electric bills.

Abbott, however, is focusing on the states thriving economy, highlighting the creation of nearly two point six million jobs since he took office in 2015. Texas has also seen a record fourteen million four hundred three thousand five hundred total jobs, outpacing national growth. The race is heating up, with voters having until October fifth to register, early voting from October nineteenth to thirtieth, and Election Day on November third.
