After losing ground with Latino voters, Democrats are turning to influencers for help

Prominent Texas Democrats are criticizing Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear, currently serving as the Democratic Governors Association (DGA) chair, for allegedly underfunding Gina Hinojosa’s gubernatorial campaign against Greg Abbott. Critics argue the $1 million DGA investment is insufficient given Texas's size and the importance of Latino voter outreach. While some strategists view the dispute through the lens of potential 2028 presidential aspirations—contrasting Beshear's approach with Illinois Governor JB Pritzker’s recent $1 million contribution—the DGA maintains it is aggressively competing in Texas through staff and financial support.
