EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Texas Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa plans to freeze residential electricity rates on Day One, sparking fierce legal and economic battles.
President Donald Trump and Republicans warned throughout the midterm election cycle that the modern Democrat Party was becoming far-left and socialist, but not enough voters bought the argument.
That includes Texas, where voters elected Democrats to federal and statewide offices for the first time in decades.
Texas Democratic Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa says she will freeze residential electricity rates immediately after taking office, setting up a potential legal fight over the governor’s emergency powers.
