Congratulations Senator-Elect Taylor Rehmet!

John, Texas Democrats are building BIG winning momentum, and we can't let up now. Please chip in $9 now, or whatever makes sense, and help us win statewide in the race to replace Ken Paxton as Attorney General.

Taylor was, in many ways, the perfect Democratic candidate in yesterday's red district special election: likable, indisputably a man of the people, and his campaign rhetoric focused on the issues affecting Texans the most right now — rising costs, public school funding, and access to healthcare.

Wambsganss was and is in many ways the perfect foil: a clear reflection of the destructiveness the Republican Party has been offering in place of responsible leadership.

Taylor’s victory yesterday makes it in-your-face clear: Democrats are surging to the polls; lifelong Republican voters are sick of their party elevating hostility, greed, and domineering, autocratic tendencies over responsible management of the economy and fundamental human decency.

I've said this before. This year is shaping up like 2018, when I flipped a solidly Republican Senate seat myself in Dallas County, ousting a Tea Party extremist.

In his winning campaign, Taylor shared the same theory of change that I’m running on: meeting voters where they are, taking their concerns seriously, and offering competent, principled leadership in the face of extreme, far-right partisanship. I've been doing that my entire career in the Texas Senate, delivering on healthcare, energy, individual rights, and economic opportunity.

I'll be able to do even more good as Attorney General.

John, I need your help right now. I'm in a primary that will determine the Democratic nominee who'll take on whichever Ken Paxton clone Texas Republicans put forward. Will you please chip in right now: My campaign communications are ramping up as we get ever closer to our March 3rd primary election, and the more funds we have, the more voters we can reach in this very big state of Texas.
