拉美裔民主党领导人再次呼吁民主党州长协会加大对得州的竞选投入，此前《纽约时报》与锡耶纳学院联合开展的民调显示，民主党州长候选人吉娜·希诺霍萨以微弱优势领先共和党现任州长格雷格·雅培。
周六发布的民调显示，希诺霍萨以三个百分点的优势领先雅培，这一结果处于民调的误差区间内。当前希诺霍萨面临着与这位连任三届的共和党州长之间巨大的资金劣势。雅培的连任竞选团队及其共和党盟友的开支大约是希诺霍萨的10倍。
本周，来自全美各地的70多名拉美裔民主党领导人联名致信，敦促民主党州长协会及其主席、肯塔基州州长安迪·贝希尔向得州州长竞选投入1000万美元。《纽约时报》最先报道了这封信的内容，哥伦比亚广播公司新闻已对此予以证实。
作为2028年总统大选的潜在候选人，贝希尔受到民主党州长协会的承诺限制，需首先保护寻求连任的现任民主党州长，尽管其中一些现任州长目前处于有利位置。
曾在奥巴马政府中担任住房与城市发展部部长的朱利安·卡斯特罗在《纽约时报》民调结果公布后，于周六再次推动相关行动。这位圣安东尼奥前市长、2020年总统大选候选人在社交媒体上呼吁民主党州长协会和贝希尔“以实际行动”支持希诺霍萨。
“贝希尔和民主党州长协会还需要看到多少关于希诺霍萨‘在得州的实力’的证据，才会以实际行动支持她？”卡斯特罗写道，“她能够获胜！”
此次施压升级之际，民主党人越来越多地将孤星之州（得州）视为竞选最后几周的竞争州，尽管希诺霍萨仍面临巨额的资金劣势——一些共和党人将其形容为“防火墙”。而在2024年总统大选中，特朗普曾在该州以近14个百分点的优势获胜。
Latino Dems urge Democratic Governors Association to put money behind Gina Hinojosa as Texas governor’s race tightens
October 3, 2026 6:35 PM EDT / CBS News
Latino Democratic leaders are renewing calls for the Democratic Governors Association to invest more heavily in Texas after a New York Times/Siena College poll showed Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa narrowly leading Republican Gov. Greg Abbott.
The poll released Saturday found Hinojosa ahead of Abbott by three points, a result within the poll’s margin of error. It comes as Hinojosa continues to face a huge financial disadvantage against the three-term Republican governor. Abbott’s reelection campaign and his Republican allies are outspending her by roughly 10-to-1.
More than 70 Latino Democratic leaders from across the country sent a letter this week urging the DGA and its chair, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear, to invest $10 million in the Texas governor’s race. The New York Times first reported on the letter, which CBS News has confirmed.
Beshear, a potential 2028 presidential contender, has been constrained by the DGA’s commitments to first protect incumbent Democratic governors seeking reelection, though some of those incumbents are currently in strong positions.
Julián Castro, who served as secretary of housing and urban development in the Obama administration, renewed the push Saturday following the release of the New York Times poll. Castro, the former mayor of San Antonio and a 2020 presidential contender, took to social media to call for the DGA and Beshear to support Hinojosa “in a real way.”
“How much more evidence” of Hinojosa’s “strength in Texas” will Beshear and the DGA “have to see before they support her in a real way?” Castro wrote. “She can win!”
The renewed pressure comes as Democrats increasingly see the Lone Star state as competitive in the closing weeks of the campaign, even as Hinojosa continues to face a substantial spending disadvantage — what some Republicans are describing as a “firewall” — in a state that President Trump won by nearly 14 points in 2024.
