Just got done with one of the candidates in California. You've heard from some Florida candidates. Well, let's let's talk Texas. Right. State Representative Gina Hinojosa is the leading Democratic candidate for governor in Texas. You've heard me say, you know, there's all this focus on.
on that Senate race. And yet I kind of think if Texas Democrats are ever going to sort of break through, it may be on state issues that
What strategies does Hinojosa propose to grow the Democratic Party in Texas?
particularly the issue of education, which is exactly how Democrats broke through in Kansas. It's exactly likely why, what we'll explain if Democrats win the governor's mansion in Iowa, the sort of this national move towards privatization, voucherization, whatever you wanna call it, is one of those that there's a lot of rural conservatives who are like, yeah, school choice sounds great, The next school to choose from is 30 miles away type of mindset. So it is the idea and the reality. It is that nexus that has really opened the door in many of these red states for potential upsets on the Democratic side of the aisle. And the issue of education is going to be front and center in this campaign. And Gina, you know, so state representative who has been sort of I'm going to let her tell her origin story, but educate the education issue, the school choice issue in many ways, her political origin story.
And she joins me now. State Representative, you know, so welcome to the podcast.
What issues does Gina Hinojosa identify with Texas's electric grid?
Thank you, Chuck. It's great to be here. And please just call me Gina.
Fair enough. Well, Gina, let me just look. I don't I could tell your story, but, you know, you tell me what it you know, what got you active in politics is I love school board origin stories when it comes to politics. I it's been one of my favorite I've interviewed. I've done I love to do exit interviews when people choose to retire. And, you know, I remember I interviewed this one member of Congress, Republican member of Congress from California. And I said, so what got you into politics? He says. Well, I didn't like that they redrew the boundaries and I was really upset about it. So I ran, I won. And then I found out the school board had nothing to do with the boundaries.
