Gina Hinojosa Takes Aim at Greg Abbott: “He’s Hiding From Texas Voters”

Published

I will freeze electricity rates, make sure the data centers, the corporations, industry, is paying its fair share. I have a proposal to send $1,500 to every Texas household. Unlike Trump's plan, I know where to get the money. We have it hoarded in Austin in the Rainy Day Fund. $27 billion with a B. Never had so much money hoarded in Austin. There, that money doesn't belong to the politicians, belongs to the people. When people are struggling so mightily in Texas, I would just send it back. (02:16–02:23)
