An Abbott campaign ad claims State Representative Gina Hinojosa voted 40 times to raise property taxes. A fact-checker found the claim is true but misleading: 10 bills between 2017 and 2025, with multiple votes per bill counted separately. The 2026 Texas gubernatorial race has tightened as election day approaches.
Abbott campaign claims governor has delivered historic property tax cuts and will save the average Texas homeowner over $3,000 per year next session; Hinojosa opposed those cuts, according to the Abbott campaign.
