在近期民调显示竞选势均力敌，且越来越多民主党人看到击败连任三届的共和党现任州长格雷格·雅培的可能性后，全国民主党正加大对得州民主党州长候选人吉娜·希诺霍萨的资金支持。
据熟悉此次投入的消息人士和一名民主党州长协会高级官员透露，伊利诺伊州民主党州长JB·普利茨克——2028年总统大选的潜在候选人——以及民主党州长协会各自向希诺霍萨投入至少100万美元。熟悉该承诺的消息人士称，普利茨克的捐款实际更高，达120万美元。《纽约时报》最先报道了此次投入。
此次资金注入对希诺霍萨的竞选而言恰逢关键节点。根据竞选财务备案文件，她在上月底报告的手头现金约为400万美元，而其竞选团队表示，雅培的开支是她的约10倍。
希诺霍萨的竞选团队在一份声明中称，其竞选活动正“蓄势待发”，并表示“我们感谢在竞选最后阶段收到来自全国各地领导人的支持”。
上周，70多名拉丁裔民主党领导人致信民主党州长协会主席、肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔，敦促该协会投入1000万美元助力希诺霍萨的竞选。一名消息人士周三告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，包括得州国会议员在内的该州拉丁裔领导人已与民主党州长协会会面，以加大为希诺霍萨竞选筹资的施压力度，这一消息最先由NBC新闻报道。
一名熟悉此次投入的消息人士告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，在普利茨克承诺为此次竞选出资后，民主党州长协会才转而支持希诺霍萨。
雅培的竞选团队在一份声明中称，希诺霍萨“正将竞选活动带到外州民主党票仓”。

雅培的筹款总额远超希诺霍萨，7月至9月期间亦是如此，其竞选团队称在此期间筹款2000万美元，而希诺霍萨的竞选团队仅筹款1300万美元。但雅培的竞选团队报告手头现金达1700万美元，考虑到其今年年初报告的手头现金超过1亿美元，这意味着其已花费了巨额资金。
自1990年安·理查兹以来，再无民主党人当选得州州长，理查兹在四年后败选给乔治·W·布什，且特朗普总统在2024年以超过13个百分点的优势赢得该州。雅培此前并未被认为处于弱势，但近期民调显示竞选局势收紧。
特朗普将于周三在圣安东尼奥与得州州检察长肯·帕克斯顿及其他几名共和党候选人一同开展竞选活动，不过雅培不会参加此次集会。
National Democrats invest more heavily in Texas governor candidate Gina Hinojosa after Pritzker support
October 7, 2026 / 9:01 PM EDT / CBS News
National Democrats are stepping up their financial support for Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa after recent polls showed a dead heat and more Democrats began to see an opportunity to potentially defeat three-term incumbent Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
Illinois Democratic Gov. JB Pritzker, a possible 2028 presidential contender, and the Democratic Governors Association are each putting at least $1 million behind Hinojosa, according to sources familiar with the investments and a senior DGA official. Pritzker’s contribution is actually larger — $1.2 million, according to sources familiar with the commitment. The New York Times first reported the investment.
The infusion comes at a crucial point for Hinojosa’s campaign. She reported roughly $4 million in cash on hand at the end of last month, according to campaign finance filings, and her campaign said it had been outspent by Abbott by roughly 10-to-1.
In a statement, Hinojosa’s campaign said her campaign has “momentum,” and said “we’re grateful for the support we’ve received in this final stretch from leaders across the country.”
Last week, more than 70 Latino Democratic leaders sent a letter to Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, the chair of the DGA, urging the group to invest $10 million to help Hinojosa’s campaign. A source told CBS News on Wednesday that the state’s Latino leaders, including Texas congressional lawmakers, met with the DGA to increase pressure to fund Hinojosa’s campaign, which was first reported by NBC News.
A source familiar with the investments tells CBS News that the DGA moved to support Hinojosa after Pritzker committed his own money to the race.
Abbott’s campaign said in a statement that she is “taking her campaign to out-of-state Democrat strongholds.”

Abbott has significantly outraised Hinojosa, including from July to September, when his campaign said it brought in $20 million to her campaign’s $13 million. But his campaign reported having $17 million cash on hand, indicating a huge amount of spending given the over $100 million on hand he reported at the beginning of the year.
A Democrat has not been elected to the governor’s mansion in Texas since Ann Richards in 1990, who lost reelection to George W. Bush four years later, and President Trump won the state by more than 13 points in 2024. Abbott had not been considered vulnerable, but recent polls had shown the race tightening.
Mr. Trump is campaigning in San Antonio on Wednesday with Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and several other GOP candidates, although Abbott is not joining the rally.
