Texas Democratic Party Congratulates Taylor Rehmet on Historic Victory in Senate District 9
Dallas Fort-Worth, Texas – Last night, Democrats across Texas celebrated a powerful endorsement from voters in Tarrant County, Senate District 9. Taylor Rehmet’s victory in this competitive race shows that Texans are hungry for leaders who focus on solutions, not fear and division. In a district that is historically Republican, Taylor’s mission is grounded in ways designed to make life better and more affordable for working-class Texans - which clearly resonated with voters who want real results.
“Taylor Rehmet proved what we already knew: when you stand with working people and talk about the future, Texans listen,” said Texas Democratic Party Chair Kendall Scudder. “This win shows what is possible in Texas with strong organizing, great candidates, and strategic investments. People are noticing that Democrats have the workers’ backs and are delivering results. We congratulate Taylor and look forward to the leadership he will bring to Austin.”
Blue Texas, a collaboration of the Texas Democratic Party and Texas Majority Pac, partnered with the Rehmet campaign starting in July to turn out voters. "Our volunteers knocked on 20,000 doors and made a half million phone calls to voters in SD 9. People from all over Texas joined this effort, proving that Texans are ready for change," said Katherine Fischer, executive director of Texas Majority Pac.
This outcome reflects hard work by volunteers and communities determined to show that Texas values progress, fairness, and opportunity for all. We are energized and ready to continue building momentum statewide into the midterm elections and beyond. Next up: the March 3rd primary election.
