Texans ‘don’t trust the federal government’: TX gubernatorial nominee on border wall construction

12 SEP 2026 · 19:00 ET·6:08·29.3K VIEWS·0.8× USUAL PACE

Texas Democratic gubernatorial nominee Gina Hinojosa discussed her campaign strategy and Texan sentiment regarding border wall construction. Hinojosa stated that Texans in the Big Bend region feel cut off from power, distrust both federal and state governments, and are frustrated that their property rights and natural heritage are being threatened by the wall. She criticized Governor Greg Abbott for not calling an election to fill a congressional vacancy, leaving constituents unrepresented, and suggested that Republican donors are benefiting from no-bid contracts for wall construction.

WHY IT MATTERS

Hinojosa's stance on border wall construction and her criticism of state leadership highlight a key issue in the Texas gubernatorial race, where voters' frustration over property rights, representation, and government actions could influence election outcomes.
