Last night, Gina Hinojosa became the first Latina elected governor of Texas and the first Democrat to win the office since Ann Richards in 1990.

To voters who backed Abbott, or didn’t vote at all, she promised a government that belongs to them.

More than 50 Latinos are headed to Congress after yesterday’s midterm elections, marking a historic moment for Latino representation and reshaping who has a seat at the table in Washington.

Abortion on the ballot:
-Missouri: rejected Amnd. 3, keeping the rights voters approved in 2024
-Virginia: added a right to reproductive freedom to its constitution
-Nevada: final approval to a constitutional right to abortion
-Idaho: rejected Prop 1. The near-total ban stays.

32 years. That’s how long Republicans won every statewide race in Texas. Last night it ended. 🔵 Talarico takes the Senate seat. Hinojosa beats Abbott. But the Legislature likely stays red, so the fight over what actually changes is just starting.
