Hinojosa bets data-center backlash can swing Texas governor race
TL;DR
Texas state Rep. Gina Hinojosa says anger over Flock license‑plate cameras and the rapid spread of AI data centers could reshape the Texas governor race, advocating a moratorium and stricter regulations while accusing incumbent Greg Abbott of being out of touch. Abbott has paused some data‑center approvals and ordered audits, but voters across parties remain concerned about data centers, electricity costs, water use and privacy—a dynamic that could woo MAGA voters and narrow Abbott’s edge in a state that hasn’t elected a Democratic governor in decades.
