A remarkable amount of money flowed into the Texas governor’s race last month, with Gov. Greg Abbott raising $26 million — the highest total he has posted in any reporting period this cycle. Democratic candidate Gina Hinojosa raised $17.5 million, her highest for a reporting period this cycle, too. texastribune.org/2026/10/27/…

Texas voter: My hometown is Rockport, Texas. When I wear my Talarico shirt there, I get people stopping me at the stores and telling me they've been Republicans all their life, and they're voting Talarico. They're voting Hinojosa. They're voting Bobby Pulido, because they're tired of the corruption, the lies right now. #JamesTalarico #Texas

Not only did I sweep the editorial endorsements, now the Houston Chronicle put out a piece on just how dangerous Huffines is for the office. When I’m comptroller, I’ll follow the law, follow the money, and make sure every Texan knows exactly where their tax dollars are going.

When we send @TroyJackson207 to DC, we won’t settle for scraps. Neither will he. We’re demanding Medicare For All, higher wages, universal childcare & housing that people can actually afford. That’s why the billionaire class is so desperate to stop this movement. They will fail.
