A remarkable amount of money flowed into the Texas governor’s race last month, with Gov. Greg Abbott raising $26 million — the highest total he has posted in any reporting period this cycle. Democratic candidate Gina Hinojosa raised $17.5 million, her highest for a reporting period this cycle, too. texastribune.org/2026/10/27/…
