NEW: Texas Comptroller @DonHuffines touts open government.
But when it comes to the $1 billion student voucher program he oversees, it's a secret.
His office said it was to prevent me and others from "doxxing ... Texas students."

I donât put my name behind just anyone. đşđ¸
I sat down with James Talarico and heard balanced, honest answers on security, the economy, and issues facing Texas families.
Thatâs why I support @jamestalarico for U.S. Senate.
Election Day is Nov. 3. Make your plan to vote. đłď¸

Texas transgender advocacy groups have denied sending out the material, leading many to believe they may be coming from someone hoping to stir up Republican voters, rather than offer aid to transgender youth as they purport to be doing. bit.ly/4sfV5g5

When Gina Hinojosa first launched her bid against Greg Abbott, her polling had her 9 points down â and she felt good about it.
Now, she's daring Democrats to wonder if she could actually topple this mainstay of the Texas GOP establishment.

Gov. Greg Abbott sued by opponent Gina Hinojosa over his communications with Elon Musk.
Last year, @lmcgaughy got redactions when she sought the records.
Rep. Hinojosa said she's entitled to them for #txlege purposes but Abbott won't release them.

NEW: Gina Hinojosa is running to wipe away Greg Abbott's education reforms.
But it won't be easy. Some ideas might not be possible.
One of her pledges could go against state law:

Where does Ken Paxton go to church? Despite attacking James Talarico's faith in the TX Senate race, Paxton has not given much detail on his own religious practice.

Paxtonâs supporters see him as a true believer whose record pushing Christianity into public life speaks for itself. But little is known about Paxtonâs personal relationship with religion.
