This week on Texas Matters: Democratic candidate for governor, Gina Hinojosa, makes her closing pitch to voters. And in the last days before election day — it's prime time for campaign text messaging.

The records dispute comes just days before the Nov. 3 midterm elections. Gov. Greg Abbott is seeking a fourth term against his Democratic challenger, state Rep. Gina Hinojosa of Austin.

Democrat Gina Hinojosa is challenging Gov. Greg Abbott with a campaign centered on household costs, public education and concerns about expanding data centers, seeking to win over voters beyond her party’s base.

They claim the ads are misleading about who is in the best position to provide property tax relief — local governments or the state.

Hinojosa is trying to overcome a significant fundraising disadvantage against incumbent Gov. Greg Abbott, the Republican seeking a record fourth term.

Her plan would cost $17 billion which would come from the rainy day fund. She said Abbott is hoarding money in that account that belongs to Texans.
