华盛顿讯——得克萨斯州民主党众议员、该州州长民主党候选人吉娜·希诺霍萨周日表示,在孤星州(得克萨斯州别称),“两党都深感失望”,这促使人们开辟一条新的前进道路,她认为这条道路“在某些方面是跨党派的”。
“如今没人想要千篇一律的政治套路。我们大多数人都看出来这套体系已经崩坏了,”希诺霍萨在《面对国家》(Face the Nation)节目中说道。
52岁的希诺霍萨将挑战得克萨斯州现任州长格雷格·阿博特。作为一名民权与劳动法律师,自2017年起她代表奥斯汀部分选区担任得克萨斯州众议员,若当选,她将成为三十年来首位民主党籍州长,也是首位入主州长官邸的女性。CBS新闻最近的民调显示,阿博特以52%对48%的支持率领先希诺霍萨。
不过在得克萨斯这样注册共和党选民多于民主党选民的州,希诺霍萨要想胜出,需要得到两党跨党派的支持。她指出,她所描述的两党普遍存在的失望情绪,正促使得克萨斯人开辟“一条新的前进道路”。
“对于格雷格·阿博特对我们公立学校所做的一切,两党都感到愤慨,”她说,“拯救得克萨斯公立学校是我竞选纲领的核心部分,这也是为什么本次竞选能引发得克萨斯人的共鸣。”
希诺霍萨表示,她的竞选纲领“不是民主党专属纲领”,而是一项旨在为得克萨斯人谋福祉的民粹主义纲领。她将儿童医疗保障、打击高额保险费列为核心关注领域。
她还提到数据中心问题是得克萨斯人能够达成共识的领域。她说:“没有人比‘让美国再次伟大’(MAGA)阵营更反对数据中心了,因为这些数据中心大多入驻了我们的农村社区,这些社区尚未建制。”
“得克萨斯州的这片区域正在被这些数据中心盘剥,得克萨斯人以及农村地区的民众也正在被盘剥,”她说,“这里存在严重的用水问题、电力成本问题、财产权问题,因此我们需要全面审视这些问题,确保得克萨斯人得到保护,首先要让他们拥有参与决策的话语权。”
上述言论发表之际,希诺霍萨已提起诉讼,要求获取阿博特与埃隆·马斯克之间的邮件往来。马斯克曾为阿博特的竞选活动提供数百万美元捐款。她指出,阿博特与马斯克的关系——这位马斯克是得克萨斯州特斯拉与太空探索技术公司(SpaceX)的首席执行官——“我们需要弄清楚到底发生了什么”。
尽管得克萨斯州三十多年来一直是稳固的共和党票仓,这位民主党人对自己在下周选举中的胜选机会仍持乐观态度。
“投票率很高,我们这边的热情也很高,所以我们对目前的状况感觉非常好,”她说。
Gina Hinojosa says there’s “deep disappointment in both political parties” in Texas right now

Washington — Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa, the Democrat running for governor in Texas, said on Sunday that there’s “deep disappointment in both political parties” in the Lone Star State, prompting a new path forward that she argued is “post-partisan in some ways.”
“Right now nobody wants politics as usual. Most of us see that it is broken,” Hinojosa said on “Face the Nation.”
Hinojosa, 52, is taking on Gov. Greg Abbott in Texas. A civil rights and labor lawyer who’s represented parts of Austin in the Texas House since 2017, Hinojosa would be the first Democratic governor and the first woman to lead the state in the governor’s mansion in three decades. A recent CBS News poll had Abbott leading Hinojosa, 52% to 48%.
But in a state like Texas, which has more registered Republican voters than Democrats, Hinojosa will need support from both sides of the aisle to pull off a victory. She argued that the deep disappointment she described in both parties has made Texans forge “a new way forward.”
“There is bipartisan anger about what Greg Abbott has done to our public schools,” she said. “Saving Texas public schools is a key part of my agenda, and that’s why this campaign has resonated amongst Texans.”
Hinojosa said her agenda “is not a Democratic agenda,” but rather a populist one aimed at delivering for Texans. She cited healthcare access for children and combating high insurance premiums as key focus areas.
She also pointed to data centers as an issue where Texans can find agreement. She said, “Nobody’s pushing back against the data centers harder than MAGA because these data centers are mostly moving into our rural communities that are unincorporated.”
“This part of Texas is being taken advantage of by these data centers, and the people of Texas and rural Texas are being taken advantage of,” she said. “There are big water concerns, there are big electricity cost concerns, property rights concerns, and so we need to visit all of it and make sure Texans are protected, and first and foremost have a seat at the table.”
The comments come as Hinojosa has filed a lawsuit to obtain emails between Abbott and Elon Musk, who’s given millions to Abbott’s campaign. She said, “We need to know what exactly is going on,” pointing to the relationship between Abbott and Musk, the CEO of Texas-based Tesla and SpaceX.
The Democrat expressed optimism about her chances in next week’s election, despite Texas being a reliably red state for over 30 years.
“Turnout is high, enthusiasm is high on our side, so we feel really good about where we are,” she said.
