Thank you for the interview! @MeridithDyer_
.@JulioForRGV joined The Texan to discuss his campaign for Rio Grande Valley-area #HD41, the pros of being a Gen Z candidate, why he calls himself a “Lyndon B. Johnson” Democrat, and key issues like education, health care, and infrastructure. #txlege thetexan.news/podcast/video/…

When Washington or Austin coughs, the RGV gets the flu. Hear more from @JulioForRGV about the issues impacting South Texans and his vision for the Valley’s future, everywhere you stream Progress Texas Podcasts.

Texas was built by hope. By people who had no business believing — but believed anyway.
To every Texan who’s ever wondered if anyone in power is paying attention: We are taking our state back.
Because a little bit of hope is a dangerous thing.

NEW: In tight Texas Senate race, Trump’s immigration crackdown tests Republicans’ hold on voters in the Rio Grande Valley.
"This shouldn’t be reality. It's a nightmare," a McAllen builder and 3x Trump voter says about the immigration raids. He is now voting Democrats down ballot.

(CNN) “He wants me to lose”: Paxton complains about lack of support from Cornyn in leaked audio
“He’s clearly not helping. He wants me to lose,” the Texas attorney general said at a fundraiser last month, according to an audio recording obtained by CNN from an attendee who opposes Paxton.

The Texas streets won’t forget this in 2028, @AndyBeshearKY
Bizarre strategy from Beshear, basically asserting that Hinojosa isn't gonna win anyway so stop begging him cnn.com/2026/10/09/politics/…

Governor Beshear. First time long time.
I say this with love & respect.
But if you don’t completely — and I mean completely — empty the DGA’s bank account for Gina Hinojosa & Keisha Lance Bottoms, The Ghost of Midterms Past will come back to haunt you for the rest of your days.
NEW in @playbookdc:
September polling from @EquisResearch finds that among likely Latino voters, Texas Dem governor candidate @GinaHinojosaTX leads Greg Abbott 59-35, a sign of the growing strength of her campaign.
Her biggest issue: name ID. 27% of Texas Latinos can't rate Hinojosa.
The new numbers come as Latino Democrats urge the Democratic Governors Association to put money behind Hinojosa.
She currently faces a huge financial disadvantage and is being outspent by Abbott roughly 10-to-1.

Our second defense seat is HD 41. This McAllen based seat contains the more affluent parts of the valley, and is represented by longtime Democratic representative Bobby Guerra. It voted for Biden by 13%, Trump by 1%, Allred by 6%, and Guerra by 7%.

The Texas House has not had a Democratic majority for 24 years, with Democrats last winning control in 2000; a streak that is likely to continue. Despite that, Democrats are likely to make gains in the chamber. But what would it take to actually win a majority?

Dawg.
Ken Paxton: The criticism has been that I let a child predator out after one day. Well guess what? They served 60 days.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Paxton's Claim is misleading:
His office's original deal was to give Time Served + 1 day.
After a rebuking from Judge Roy Sparkman (“One day. Seriously? Somebody has to sell me on the wisdom of it,”) the deal was revised, and Hoffman was released after 29 days.

Thank you for coming down! Jon Rosenthal is a true friend of the RGV. 🌴
Closing out a busy weekend campaigning across Texas, joining leaders like @SarahEckhardtTX & @VikkiGoodwinTX at #TribFest26 in Austin, hitting the streets with @JulioForRGV & @ClaytonTuckerTX in McAllen, and finally speaking to voters this afternoon in Clear Lake, back home here in Houston. I hear the same thing everywhere - Texans want leadership at the Railroad Commission. 37 days left till November 3rd!
