New Texas Governor Hinojosa: We will protect the public against data center projects

Hinojosa, a member of the Democratic Party, made evaluations to CNN about the projects she wants to implement after being elected as the first Latin American female governor of Texas, which she sees as the "stronghold" of the Republicans.

"Texas has always been a pro-business state, but what will change under my governorship is that this relationship must evolve into a partnership that benefits Texans. Currently, data centers are located mostly in rural communities, but there are no rules or laws to protect Texans, and people are victimized by this situation," Hinojosa said. he said.

Hinojosa, who is expected to take office in January 2027 in the state where Republicans have been governor for more than 30 years, said he plans to enact laws that will protect Texas and stop cooperating with data centers until these protections are provided.
