Texas state rep calls on Abbott to curb Hinojosa’s power before inauguration
Harrison wants lawmakers to pass his bill before Democrats take office, arguing Texas emergency powers let a governor change laws without limits.
- On Wednesday, Texas state Rep. Brian Harrison called on Gov. Greg Abbott to convene a special session to curb emergency powers before Democrat Gina Hinojosa is sworn in next year.
- Republicans still hold "total power in Texas," Harrison wrote, and have ten weeks to act before Hinojosa, who defeated Abbott, becomes the first Democrat elected governor since 1990.
- Harrison argued Hinojosa will "inherit the powers of a DICTATOR," allowing her to modify, ignore or create laws "on a whim," and urged the legislature to pass HB911 to prevent unchecked authority.
- Texas Republicans have vowed to "hold the line" against the state Democrats' agenda, though former Texas state House speaker Dade Phelan noted Democrats do not control every lever of government.
- Hinojosa is set to become the first Latina governor of Texas, while Democrats won the Texas state House, concluding the 24-year run Republicans held in both state Legislature chambers.
