SAN ANTONIO – Governor Greg Abbott made his final campaign stop before Election Day in San Antonio, rallying support as he seeks a record fourth term against Democratic challenger Gina Hinojosa. The stakes are high, with Abbott acknowledging that the race is tighter than ever.
“Listen, we pretty much have a tie game. The game is going to be decided tomorrow, by those who go vote tomorrow. We need everyone in this room to be involved in that process,” Abbott urged his supporters, emphasizing the importance of voter turnout.
Abbott defended his record as governor, particularly on issues of affordability, by pointing to the state’s job market and economic growth. “Because the economy in Texas is the best economy in America,” he claimed. “More Texans have a job than ever before. Under my watch, more than 2.6 million Texans have been able to get a job, their paycheck is higher than ever before, and the poverty rate is at an all-time low.” According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, Texas has indeed seen significant job growth in recent years, contributing to its reputation as an economic powerhouse.
In contrast, Hinojosa presented a different narrative, highlighting the struggles many Texans face. “Texas can’t afford to keep the lights on. We have the most bankruptcies of any state in America, and it is our small businesses who are struggling to keep their doors open. That, my friends, is Greg Abbott’s record,” she asserted, appealing to voters who are feeling financial pressure.
The two candidates have outlined sharply contrasting visions for the future of Texas. Abbott proposed a plan that includes halting the construction of the southern border wall and instead focusing on securing other borders. “When we pass my affordability agenda, I’m going to stop building the wall on the southern border. I’m going to build it on the northern border, the western border, the eastern border,” he stated, indicating his commitment to border security.
On the other hand, Hinojosa expressed optimism about her chances heading into Election Day. “In this moment in history I am so grateful, I am so honored to be in this fight with you, because together, if we do everything we can, everything within our power to meet this moment in history, then I will be the next governor of Texas,” she declared, rallying her supporters with a message of hope and change.
As Texans prepare to cast their votes, polling locations in Bexar County will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Voters who are in line by 7 p.m. will still be allowed to vote, and they can cast their ballots at any polling location in the county.
