Andrew White Exits Texas Governor’s Race, Endorses Gina Hinojosa

White cited a fundraising shortfall with early voting weeks away, sharpening Hinojosa’s position before the March 3 primary.

Overview

White said his campaign did not raise enough money to "fully compete and win" as early voting approaches in roughly six weeks.
His campaign pointed to internal polling showing about 20% support, while a December Barbara Jordan Center survey put him at 6% and Hinojosa at 41%.
Hinojosa welcomed the endorsement, saying she was humbled and honored by White’s support.
The Democratic field now centers on Hinojosa as the front-runner, with former U.S. Rep. Chris Bell and rancher Bobby Cole still in the race.
Republican Gov. Greg Abbott is seeking a fourth term with about $90 million on hand, and the statewide primary is set for March 3.
