Hi. Gina here. I’ll be
completely honest with you:

I never planned on running for Governor. I never planned on being in
politics at all.

But after a decade of Greg Abbott abandoning our schools, families, and
communities, it’s obvious: If we want change, we have to create it
ourselves.

I’d like to tell you more
about my story and why I’m running. [ [link removed] ]But if you’re ready to take action
now, you can chip in here to power our fight for Texas.

I loved my work as a civil rights and union lawyer. I fought every day for
families, workers, and fairness. I represented Texans who had been pushed
around or shut out, people who just wanted what they had earned: fair
well-paying jobs, dignity, and a chance to build a better life. I thought
I’d do that work forever.

But sometimes life puts a decision in front of you that you can’t ignore.

For me, that moment came the day I learned my son’s elementary school was
being closed because of budget cuts. It wasn’t failing or unsafe — just
“in the way” of a plan to hand schools over to private interests looking
to profit off our kids' futures. Families and teachers were shaken and
uncertain of what would come next, and I realized something terrifying: No
one was coming to save us.

So I stepped up. I ran for the Austin ISD’s Board of Trustees, won, and
helped block a corporate takeover of our public schools.

It taught me something powerful: When Texans stand up, we win big battles.

But the fight was just starting. Neighborhood schools kept closing across
Texas because Republican leaders kept diverting money away from
classrooms. So I made another decision I never expected to make: I ran for
the Texas House.

As a state representative, I secured billions in school funding. I passed
a first-of-its-kind law so Texas businesses could do well financially and
do good in our communities. I delivered nearly a billion dollars in
healthcare funding to Travis County. I helped organize walkouts that
blocked Abbott’s voter suppression bill and fought back against his school
voucher scheme.

The same determination I’ve had my entire career is why I’m running for
Governor of Texas today — to defend the Texas I grew up with and fight for
every family who calls this state home.

Because Texas simply can’t afford another four years of Greg Abbott.

For a decade, Abbot has sold out working families to enrich the wealthy
and powerful at every step. He kicks children off Medicaid to save a few
extra bucks for Big Pharma. He shuts down public schools so private
interests can get rich on vouchers. He ignores families crushed by rising
prices while he funnels nearly a billion of our taxpayer dollars into
no-bid contracts for his donors.

With your help, I can become the next Governor of Texas. I’ve beaten
Abbott before, and I’m ready to do it again. And right now, he’s the least
popular he’s ever been — so this is our chance.

But defeating a three-term incumbent backed by right-wing billionaire
money takes real people power. It takes Texans standing up together and
saying: Enough.

So I’m asking you directly: [ [link removed] ]Can I count on you to pitch in
$5 today and power the movement to take Texas back?
