Texas is Republican, and many expect the next Governor to be Republican as well. But this time there is a percentage which will be important: the Hispanic turnout.
Back in 2016, that turnout was 40.5% of all registered voters. Yes, 40% of all registered voters in Texas were of Hispanic origin. Latino people are now some 39% of the state of Texas’s 28 million residents. Even though 43% of Texans are white, that is a big shift. the Hispanic population grew by over 60% since 2000.
Democrats know this statistic very well and combined with the fact that they know Democrats have not won a statewide race in Texas since 1994, they present a candidate that ticks all the boxes: Hispanic, Latino… and gay.
Bring on Ms. Lupe Valdez.
