Opponents felt a leadership change was needed as the long-serving chair has led the state party since 2012.
At the Texas Democratic Convention in Dallas on Saturday, 58% of the delegates voted for Hinojosa on the final ballot. His closest challenger, Kim Olson, received 40% of the vote. “When they did that, I was there, and I listened,” Hinojosa said in his acceptance speech. “Not only did I listen to what they asked, but I listened to you. I listened to you to see what we needed to do to make our party stronger.”
“You county chairs, and precinct chairs want to know there’s not only a four-month plan for you, there is a four-year plan for you, building political foundations in your communities,” Olson told delegates at the convention.
