AGP Executive Report
Last update: 9 hours agoTransition Watch: Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has opened a jobs portal as Texas lawmakers prepare bills ahead of her January inauguration. Republicans are also pushing to limit the incoming governor’s emergency powers before she takes office. Historic Shift: Democrats’ midterm sweep put Hinojosa in the governor’s office, sent James Talarico to the U.S. Senate and flipped the Texas House, ending decades of Republican dominance in statewide races. The GOP retained the state Senate, setting up divided government; Rep. Senfronia Thompson is poised to become the first Black speaker of the Texas House. Data Center Fight: Hinojosa has called for a pause on new data center approvals, citing strain on the power grid, and warned Elon Musk and other tech companies that they must meet state requirements. Local Authority: Houston Mayor John Whitmire says city police will sharply limit cooperation with federal immigration authorities, a change he tied to the election results. San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones is urging lawmakers to expand Medicaid and restore powers the state took from cities.
