Two major Texas political races just got a significant financial boost from a prominent personal injury attorney, signaling the high stakes both campaigns are facing heading into the next election cycle.
Henry backs James Talarico with $1 million through Lone Star Rising PAC and contributes $1 million to Gina Hinojosa’s gubernatorial campaign
NEW YORK, NY, UNITED STATES, October 31, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Texas attorney Thomas J. Henry has thrown his support behind two Democratic candidates in next year’s elections, announcing his endorsement of James Talarico for U.S. Senate and Gina Hinojosa for Governor of Texas. The backing comes with real financial weight: $2 million in total political contributions, split evenly with $1 million going to support Talarico through Lone Star Rising PAC and another $1 million contributed directly to Hinojosa’s gubernatorial campaign.
Henry made his endorsements public through a video statement, where he spoke directly to the challenges facing Texans right now and the need to build a stronger foundation for what comes next. “I know what it’s like to support people when they need help,”
Henry said. “Texans need help this year. They need help for the next decade and for the future.”
The attorney rooted his endorsements in a set of core principles, pointing to prosperity, safety, and
opportunity as the shared values that drew him to both candidates. “James has the values that allow people to prosper while being safe and having opportunities,” Henry said.
He went on to voice his support for Hinojosa in the governor’s race, adding, “Gina has the same values.”
These contributions put substantial financial muscle behind the endorsements, with Talarico’s campaign receiving support through the Lone Star Rising PAC and Hinojosa’s gubernatorial bid getting a direct injection of funds.
“In Texas, it’s important to back up what you say,” Henry said.
Henry framed his support for both candidates as part of a larger vision for the state and its residents.
“I want the people of Texas to have the best opportunity for their future,” Henry said.
