"You can shove it with your culture wars," said Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate Gina Hinojosa, describing her mindset toward Gov. Greg Abbott when interviewed by Politico. Hinojosa has been making the case that her challenge against three-termer Abbott will be successful because she's gone "back to basics" and reflected voters' concerns about the economy instead of growing distracted by the culture warring that has for so long co-opted much of her party.

"We're not doing the culture wars. We are talking about how we're gonna deliver for Texans, how we're gonna make life easier for working families," Hinojosa told Politico. "And so in that sense, I think that has to be the way forward for Democrats, to focus on the economic issues and not take the bait when it comes to the culture wars."
