Following the election of Democrat Gina Hinojosa as Texas Governor, state Representative Brian Harrison is calling for a special session to restrict the executive's emergency powers before her inauguration. Harrison argues that current laws grant the governor overbroad authority equivalent to a 'dictator,' while Hinojosa has signaled her intent to use her upcoming term to implement new oversight for data center projects in the state. Hinojosa is scheduled to take office on January 19, making her the first Democratic governor in Texas since 1995.
