Texas Governor Race Tightens as Latino Leaders Press Democrats for More Funding

The Texas gubernatorial race between incumbent Greg Abbott and challenger Gina Hinojosa has become unexpectedly competitive in the final weeks of the 2026 midterms. While Republicans maintain confidence in Abbott’s chances, Democrats are facing internal friction over resource allocation. Hinojosa’s campaign has secured limited financial support from the Democratic Governors Association, prompting criticism from Latino congressional members who argue the national party is underestimating the potential impact of a Texas victory on the 2028 presidential cycle.

Texas Latino Leaders Demand Increased DGA Funding for Hinojosa Amid Tight Gubernatorial Race

Latino Democratic leaders in Texas are clashing with the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) over insufficient financial support for Gina Hinojosa’s gubernatorial campaign against incumbent Greg Abbott. While polls show a historically tight race, Abbott retains a significant fundraising advantage. National party officials face pressure to allocate more resources to Texas, a state where a Democratic victory would be unprecedented since 1990.

Latino Leaders Demand $10M DGA Injection for Hinojosa as Texas Poll Shows Abbott Lead Shrinking

Latino Democratic leaders are pressing the Democratic Governors Association to allocate $10 million to Gina Hinojosa’s Texas gubernatorial campaign after a new poll showed her within three points of incumbent Greg Abbott. The call follows a significant spending disparity, with Abbott’s campaign outspending Hinojosa by roughly 10-to-1. Although the Democratic Governors Association has prioritized incumbent governors, the tight race and Hinojosa’s potential to become the first Latina governor of Texas are driving renewed demands for financial support from party leadership.

Latino Democrats urge Beshear to prioritize Texas gubernatorial race

Latino Democratic leaders are pressuring Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, the chair of the Democratic Governors Association, to expand the party’s midterm map to include Texas. They argue that supporting Democrat Gina Hinojosa in her race against incumbent Republican Governor Greg Abbott is critical to reversing the loss of Latino voters. While the DGA is currently focused on swing states like Michigan and Arizona, advocates contend that Texas is central to the party’s broader coalition-building efforts.

Dem Internal Poll Shows Jolly Narrowly Ahead of Donalds in Florida Race

An internal Democratic Governors Association poll conducted Aug. 10–13 by Hart Research Associates finds Democrat David Jolly leading Republican Byron Donalds by 1 point (46% to 45%) in a Florida-leaning sample (R+12). The survey casts Jolly as having broader appeal to independents and Hispanics, while Donalds is seen unfavorably by more voters. It notes potential crossover voting from Republicans (about 18%), a spending edge for Donalds, and suggests a tougher, more ambiguous race than public polls that show Donalds ahead.

"Reeves and Presley Neck and Neck in Mississippi Governor's Race"

A new poll released by the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) shows Republican incumbent Gov. Tate Reeves leading Democratic candidate Brandon Presley by just one point in the Mississippi governor's race. The poll indicates that both candidates are below the 50% threshold needed to avoid a runoff election. The DGA has invested a historic amount of money, $3.75 million, into Presley's campaign, helping him out-raise Reeves. However, there are concerns about the accuracy of the poll due to the DGA's affiliation with Presley's campaign. The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling and surveyed 601 Mississippi voters, with a margin of error of 4%.
