"This win goes to everyday working people,"
"a warning sign to Republicans across the country."
"an incredible supporter"
Taylor Rehmet, a labor union leader and Air Force veteran, won a special election for a Fort Worth-area Texas state Senate seat by more than 14 percentage points. The district had been reliably Republican for decades and was carried by Donald Trump by 17 points in 2024. Rehmet campaigned on lowering costs, supporting public education and protecting jobs, and received backing from national groups including the DNC and VoteVets, which spent heavily on ads. The seat opened after GOP incumbent Kelly Hancock resigned to take statewide office. Republican leaders, including Donald Trump, urged support for the GOP candidate.
