Adam Hinojosa is an American politician who has represented the 27th district in the Texas Senate since 2025. In the 2022 election, Hinojosa was defeated by his Democratic challenger Morgan LaMantia. He narrowly ousted LaMantia in a rematch two years later.[1][2]
In the 2022 general election, Hinojosa faced Democratic challenger LaMantia, who had been endorsed by the retiring District 27 senator, Eddie Lucio Jr.[3] Hinojosa campaigned as part of a Republican effort to capitalize on Donald Trump's strong performance in the Rio Grande Valley in the 2020 election to flip multiple legislative and congressional seats in the region.[4] LaMantia won the election by an extremely narrow margin, a result which was not confirmed until after a December recount.[5][6]
In a 2024 rematch, Hinojosa defeated LaMantia by a narrow margin of 1.09%. Hinojosa was aided by President Donald Trump carrying the district by over 12% in the concurrent Presidential election.
