It Must Be Another Podcast

Jamisha Daniels sits down with the Texas Democratic Governor candidate Gina Hinojosa fresh off a visit to Paul Quinn College, where Hinojosa reflects on the power of HBCU community and why young people gathering face-to-face still matters in a phone-first world. From there, the conversation gets into the real stakes of Texas politics: gerrymandering, redlining, rural and urban outreach, voter protection, and how a huge, rapidly growing state can shape Congress for a generation. You’ll hear Hinojosa break down:

• why she says the first week of early voting matters
• how “Souls to the Polls” and voter protection numbers can help keep ballots secure
• what she plans to do for black farmers, small ranchers, and families facing corporate consolidation
• why Texas’s extreme abortion ban is putting doctors and patients at risk
• the school policy battles she believes a governor can tackle right away

Hinojosa also explains why she wants Texans to ask hard questions and how trust has to be earned, not assumed. That thread runs through the entire interview: who gets heard, who gets protected, and who gets left out when power is concentrated in the wrong hands.
