John, I often think about something my grandmother used to tell
me:
“No te dejes.”
Don’t let them push you around. Fight back.
That lesson has guided me my entire life, from the Rio Grande Valley to
the state legislature — and it’s why I’m running for Governor of Texas.
Because right now, Texans are in the fight of our lives for our kids, our
schools, and our future. And Greg Abbott has chosen a side: the
billionaires, the special interests, the big corporations, and the
wealthiest donors who bankroll him.
Abbott has given away nearly a billion taxpayer dollars in contracts to
his campaign donors and is still scheming to rip funding away from our
neighborhood schools to give to private interests. That’s corruption,
plain and simple — and it’s time we fight back.
If you’re ready to take our state back from Abbott and his billionaire
donors, I’m asking you to step up today:

my campaign right now? With your support, we can prove we’re ready for
this fight.

I grew up in Brownsville public schools — schools where no one had much,
but we had each other. My parents were legal-aid lawyers representing
farmworkers and families who had nowhere else to turn. My mom was born in
Mexico; my dad was the first in his family to go to college. We lived in
Mission, Texas.
We moved so my dad could go to Georgetown Law. My mom worked to help put
my dad through school. My mom eventually decided to go to law school
herself.
Then, our family came home to South Texas so my parents could fight for
people like the ones they’d grown up alongside.
That’s where I learned that doing right by others isn’t charity —
it’s duty.
I became a lawyer to fight for workers and families. And when my son’s
elementary school — steps from the Capitol — was threatened with closure,
I ran for the Austin school board. We stopped a corporate takeover of our
public schools. Our schools passed accountability standards for the first
time in history.
A few years later, I ran for the Texas House to keep fighting for our kids
and our classrooms. Since then, I’ve:
✅ Passed a first-of-its-kind law creating Public Benefit Corporations so
Texas businesses can do well and do good.
✅ Secured nearly a billion dollars in federal funds for health care in
Travis County.
✅ Led the charge to stop Abbott’s voucher schemes and defend public
schools — beating him five times in a row.
✅ Helped organize the Democratic walkout that blocked Abbott’s voter
suppression bill and protected Texans’ right to vote.
Every fight has reinforced what my grandmother taught me. I can still hear
her voice telling me: No te dejes.
Never back down.
Greg Abbott’s corruption runs deep, and the billionaires he serves will
spend whatever it takes to keep him in power. But I’m not afraid of a
fight, and with your help, we can finally beat him.
If you believe in a Texas where every child can learn in a great public
school, where families can afford health care, where every worker can earn
a living wage, and where the government serves the people, not the
powerful, then I need you in this fight from day one.
[ [link removed] ]John, if you’re with me, I’m asking you to donate to my
campaign for Governor of Texas. Split a contribution of $5, $25, $50, or
more between Blue Amp Action and my campaign now.

We can do this. We’re Texans. We do hard things — and we’ve never been
afraid of a fight.
No te dejes.
With gratitude and determination,
Gina Hinojosa
Candidate for Governor of Texas
