Applaud Gina Hinojosa’s Plan to Bring Money Back to Texans

Texans deserve leaders who put working families first—and this proposal deserves applause.

Texas gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa has unveiled a plan to provide a $1,500 payment to every Texas household by using a portion of the state's record budget surplus, arguing that the money should help families facing rising costs instead of sitting unused.

Across Texas, families continue to feel the pressure of higher grocery bills, housing costs, utility payments, healthcare expenses, and everyday necessities. When a state has accumulated a historic surplus, it's reasonable to ask how those resources can best benefit the people who helped create them.

Hinojosa's proposal would return a portion of the state's reserve directly to Texans while leaving billions of dollars in the rainy day fund for future emergencies. The plan reflects the belief that hardworking families are best positioned to decide how to spend their own money to meet their needs.

Whether it's paying bills, covering childcare, repairing a car, buying groceries, or saving for the future, direct financial relief gives families the flexibility to make the choices that work best for them.

Every Texan deserves an economy that works for ordinary people—not just those at the top.

Add your name to applaud Gina Hinojosa's proposal to put money back in Texans' pockets, support working families, and make affordability a top priority.
