AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoTransition Fight: Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa says she’ll fire Education Commissioner Mike Morath on her first day and end state takeovers of local school districts. Republican lawmakers are already urging Gov. Greg Abbott to curb the governor’s emergency powers before Hinojosa takes office in January. New Balance of Power: Democrats won the governor’s office, lieutenant governor, attorney general and Texas House, along with several other statewide posts. Republicans kept the state Senate, setting up a divided Legislature where major policy changes will require compromise. Education and Business: Hinojosa has also pledged to end no-bid contracts and boost teacher pay. Her win puts future school policy and university board appointments in play, while Texas’ data-center industry faces uncertainty over possible new oversight. Historic Upset: James Talarico’s U.S. Senate victory and Hinojosa’s win ended decades of Republican dominance in Texas statewide races; she will be the state’s first Latina governor.
