## Resource

Texas races are heating up as Governor Abbott ramps up his campaign, firing shots at Democrats at a Dallas rally and honoring first responders in Austin on the 25th anniversary of 9/11. His challenger, Gina Hinojosa, is responding, while Super PACs — including GOP Senate leadership, Trump-aligned, and Elon Musk-backed groups — are pouring $32 million into a media blitz across major Texas markets, turning this midterm into a high-stakes battle for control.
