★ Political digital products

Politics you'll actually want to open.

PolitiGeist makes digital political products, some to inform you, some just for fun, most a little of both. Independent, plain-spoken, and never telling you how to vote or what to think. We're starting with voter guides and building out from there.

Governor

The state's chief executive.

01 The 30-Second Version

What this job does

The governor signs or vetoes every bill the Legislature passes, commands the Texas National Guard, appoints hundreds of officials and board members, and sets the agenda from the state's most powerful bully pulpit. On paper the office is constitutionally "weak", power is shared with the lieutenant governor, but a governor who keeps winning accumulates lasting sway over the courts, agencies, and party.

Who's running

Greg AbbottRepublican

Incumbent since 2015; seeking a record fourth term that would make him the longest-serving governor in Texas history.

Gina HinojosaDemocrat

State representative from Austin (HD-49) since 2017 and a former Austin ISD school board president.

Also on the ballot: Pat Dixon (Libertarian), polling in the low single digits.

The core disagreement

After more than a decade of unified Republican control, this race is a referendum: keep Texas on its current course, hard-line border enforcement, private-school vouchers, and a push to gut property taxes, or change direction toward public schools, cost-of-living relief, and new leadership.

02 If You Want More

Greg AbbottRepublican

The strongest case for him

Abbott runs as the steady hand who turned Texas into the country's boom state, leading the nation in job creation and corporate relocations, and treats that, plus his border crackdown (Operation Lone Star), as proof his approach works. In 2025 he delivered the two things his base wanted most: a private-school-choice program, now in its first year, and billions in property-tax cuts. He's campaigning to go further, including letting voters abolish school property taxes outright. He enters with overwhelming advantages, near-universal name recognition, a decade of incumbency, and roughly $90 million in the bank. The pitch: continuity and strength.

Property taxes: wants voters able to abolish school property taxes; the appraisal cap cut from 10% to 3%.
Border: built Operation Lone Star, the multibillion-dollar border-security buildup.
Schools: signed the 2025 education-savings-account (voucher) law; wants 70% of school funding in the classroom.
Economy: touts job growth and relocations; ended state DEI programs.

Gina HinojosaDemocrat

The strongest case for her

Hinojosa argues a decade of one-party rule has let the basics slip while politicians chase culture wars. Her signature issue is public schools: she calls vouchers "a handout to wealthy families whose children already attend private school," vows to repeal the program, and would move money spent on outside vendors into teacher pay to make Texas educators among the best-paid in the country, the state currently ranks 33rd in average teacher salary. The rest runs on affordability, her "money in your pocket" agenda, including a fight against the electricity costs she pins on unchecked data-center growth. The polls have tightened into single digits, with strong numbers among Latino voters.

Schools: opposes vouchers, would repeal the 2025 program; raise teacher pay by cutting vendor spending.
Affordability: a "money in your pocket" cost-of-living agenda.
Energy & grid: curb the data-center growth she says drives up electricity costs.
Experience: five terms in the Texas House; former Austin ISD board president.
