Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa addresses data center growth concerns
Gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa states that rural Texans, including many Republicans, are upset about data center growth, particularly outside Dallas. She claims they feel Governor Greg Abbott has failed them on this issue, suggesting it could sway voters in the upcoming election.
At a recent rally in Brownsville, gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa highlighted the growing discontent among rural Texans, including Republican and MAGA voters, regarding data center expansion across the state. She shared an anecdote from a living room discussion outside of Dallas, where residents expressed anger over the issue.
Hinojosa asserted that these Texans believe Governor Greg Abbott has "sold them out" on data center development, leading them to be open to considering a new governor. She posited that this issue, unlike traditional "culture wars," reveals that only "the billionaires" are benefiting, and believes it will be a decisive factor in the upcoming election across the state.
