RELEASE: Republicans are "Very Concerned" Ahead of Upcoming Texas Special Election As Dems Continue Overperforming
WASHINGTON — A tough state Senate special election in deep Republican territory in Texas is scheduled for this weekend, setting the stage for the first potential flip of the cycle with DLCC Spotlight Candidate Taylor Rehmet. Rehmet massively overperformed during November’s election despite Trump carrying this district by 17 points, and the runoff set for this Saturday has Republicans “very concerned” and begging conservatives to “please, please, please, please” show up.
This comes on the heels of Democrats landing an earthquake victory with 95% of the vote in a Minnesota special election that re-tied the House chamber earlier this week. While the Trump administration stokes chaos and terror in communities across the country, voters across the country are rejecting MAGA’s deadly agenda and backing state Democrats. Alongside this Texas race, there are more special elections on the horizon in Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Maine.
“Republicans are sounding the alarm in a district Trump won by 17 points in Texas – territory that would usually be written off for Democrats. But Taylor Rehmet is staging an impressive campaign to defy the odds and flip a ruby-red seat. That’s how toxic Trump’s agenda is. 2026 will be a historic year for state legislative Democrats, who will continue to win elections and use their power to show up and fight for their communities. Republicans know they’re vulnerable, and the DLCC will be competing everywhere.”
