Applaud Taylor Rehmet for Flipping a Texas Senate Seat

Texas voters just delivered a stunning reminder that real change is possible — even in places Republicans thought were locked down.

Democrat Taylor Rehmet flipped a Texas state Senate district Donald Trump won by 17 points, defeating a MAGA-backed Republican and proving that strong organizing, working-class values, and people-first leadership can break through anywhere. This wasn’t supposed to happen — and that’s exactly why it matters.

Rehmet, a labor union leader and Air Force veteran, ran on lowering costs, protecting public education, and standing up for working Texans. His victory sends a powerful message: voters are rejecting extremism and rewarding candidates who fight for jobs, dignity, and opportunity — even in deep-red territory.

This win is part of a growing pattern. Across the country, Democrats are overperforming in special elections and showing that Trump’s agenda isn’t resonating with everyday people. When voters are given a real choice, they’re choosing leaders who have workers’ backs and put communities first.

Add your name to applaud Taylor Rehmet for flipping the script in Texas, standing with working people, and proving that progress can win anywhere when we organize and show up.
