## Resource

Governor Greg Abbott is crushing it in his reelection bid, with a staggering $67 million on hand—thanks to $25.5 million raised in the last quarter and big donations from names like Elon Musk and sports team owners. His opponent, Rep. Gina Hinojosa, trails with just $3 million, relying on everyday Texans to fund her anti-big-money campaign. While Abbott’s team boasts 93% of his funds come from Texans, Hinojosa’s strategy hinges on closing the gap—recently boosted by a $100K donation from James Talarico. With Abbott eyeing Harris County as a key battleground, analysts say his win there could reshape Texas politics. Can Hinojosa turn grassroots momentum into a financial comeback? The race is a high-stakes battle of money versus movement—and the outcome’s still up in the air. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
