AUSTIN, Texas – Texas Democratic Party Chair Gilberto Hinojosa issued the following statement: 

“Matt Rinaldi’s legacy reflects the devolution of the Republican Party of Texas – plunging the party into the depths of MAGA extremism with no room for moderation or compromise. Throughout his term, Rinaldi deepened ties with Nazi sympathizers, supported expelled Rep. Bryan Slaton, and championed Ken Paxton’s crimes – all while leading the charge to defund public education, curtail voting rights, and restrict reproductive healthcare decisions for Texans. Now, Matt Rinaldi can cozy up to Farris Wilks and Nick Fuentes without facing public scrutiny. We say to Matt Rinaldi: Good riddance.”
