'A bipartisan government': Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa announces next steps for political transition

At her first public event since winning the Nov. 3 election, Gov.-elect Gina Hinojosa announced her initial plans for the transition between gubernatorial administrations, emphasizing her plans to work across the aisle in "building a government that is working for the people of Texas."

The overview: Hinojosa also announced the team leading her transition to the governor's office:

  • Joe Madden, former chief of staff for Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo

  • Former GOP state Rep. Ernest Bailes

  • Ryan Pollock, executive director of the Texas State Building and Construction Trades Council

  • Tamala Barksdale, a former Austin ISD trustee

Quote of note: "This is not about being a Democratic administration," she said. "I'm not going to be the governor for just Democrats—I'm going to be the governor for all the people of Texas."

One more thing: Hinojosa said Republican Gov. Greg Abbott, whom she unseated in the Nov. 3 election, had been "gracious" and expressed that his office would "fully cooperate with this transition and be helpful as they can."
