Texas has been led by Republican governors since 1995, when George W. Bush defeated then incumbent Democratic Gov. Ann Richards. Richards was the last Democrat to win a governor’s race in the state, in 1990.
The AP called the race for Hinojosa Tuesday night.
“I love our state. It has been an honor to serve it,” Abbott said.
