League of Women Voters
The LWV's framework — voter access, independent redistricting, election-administration capacity, transparency in campaign finance, civic education — runs Abbott's August 2025 mid-decade congressional redistricting drive, his support for SB 1's voting restrictions (which triggered the 2021 quorum break), and his Yass-funded primary-discipline campaign hard against the framework. Hinojosa's hosting of LWV listening tours with ERCOT in 2022, her organization of the 2021 quorum break against SB 1, and her August 2025 quorum break against the gerrymander all align with LWV priorities. LWV-Texas has been an outspoken critic of the redistricting drive Abbott led. Hinojosa is the substantially closer LWV fit on every dimension.
