## Resource

Texas politics is heating up as Governor Greg Abbott and challenger Gina Hinojosa battle to a shocking 47-47 tie in the latest poll—despite Hinojosa being outspent 10 to 1. Her message of change, focused on public schools and economic fairness for everyday Texans, is resonating across demographics, especially with a 12-point lead among Latinos and strong support from independents and even some Trump voters. Meanwhile, Abbott rallies his base at the GOP convention, where Trump dominated the stage with fiery appeals on inflation and voting. With Election Day just two months away, early voting begins October 19th and registration closes October 5th—this race could be one of the most unpredictable in Texas history.
