Gina Ortiz Jones Wins Texas Runoff to Challenge Will Hurd

(PRESS RELEASE) Gina has traveled the district, sharing a message that clearly resonated with voters in this district, focusing on ensuring Texans have access to quality health care, good paying jobs and strengthening economic opportunities for working families.

“I’m grateful for the support we have earned from folks across these communities and to all who have helped this campaign build a grassroots movement to put Washington back on the side of the people of Texas. I look forward to taking this momentum to the general election in November and giving this district a choice between someone they can count on to fight on their side, or a politician whose slick talk doesn’t match his party-line record in Washington.

“Tonight’s vote makes it clear: Democrats are united to change Congress and send politicians like Will Hurd packing. I congratulate Rick Treviño on a campaign that brought passion and clarity to the issues Texan families face. I look forward to working with him, and people across Texas, to make sure Congress serves communities like ours by delivering on health care that working families can afford, instead of serving special interests that will never put Texas families first.”

Gina Ortiz Jones served as an intelligence officer in the U.S. Air Force and is an Iraq War veteran. Her career in national security spanned 14 years. Jones is running for Congress in Texas’ 23rd Congressional District, a seat that stretches from San Antonio to El Paso and encompasses the largest shared border with Mexico of any congressional district.
