We did a lot of work in Texas a few cycles ago. If you had told me then we would be flipping this seat I would have called you crazy.
NOW-this election had super anemic turnout BUT a win is a win!
Thank you to everyone who worked to make this victory happen!
I have relatives in this district and they are thanking you too!
For the first time in 35 years, a Democrat just won Texas State Senate District 9.
Taylor Rehmet ran on healthy schools, dignity in retirement, and unity—and defeated a Trump-backed opponent in one of the reddest parts of the state.
This wasn’t luck.
It was early RFS investment, deep organizing, and a belief that every community deserves a real choice.
If you’ve ever wondered whether local races matter, this is your answer.
This win didn’t come from chasing “safe” races.
It came from refusing to write people off.
That’s our whole model.
