Last update: 7 hours agoTexas Power Shift: Gina Hinojosa’s defeat of Greg Abbott makes her the state’s first Latina governor, while James Talarico flips a U.S. Senate seat Democrats had not won since 1988.

Policy Stakes: New Democratic leaders could reshape state agencies, education and business oversight. Hinojosa has pledged to replace Education Commissioner Mike Morath, and her early appointments may influence university boards, including Texas A&M’s. Data-center projects face uncertainty as officials weigh growth against local concerns. Business: Japanese law firm Anderson Mori plans its first U.S. offices in Dallas and Houston in 2027, citing rising demand from Japanese companies operating in Texas. Voter Shift: Record turnout in Harris County and a sharp swing among Latino voters helped drive the results; voters cited costs, schools and immigration enforcement as key concerns.
