I want you to take a minute and let this sink in:

We just flipped a Texas state Senate seat.

In Tarrant County.

Where no Democrat has won in 35 years.

IN FEBRUARY.

With an unabashed Democrat named Taylor Rehmet, who ran on affordable housing, public schools, and worker rights.

It was a 31-point shift from Donald Trump to Taylor’s win. Yeah. That happened, y’all.

This is the moment to send a message to Donald Trump, Greg Abbott, and the whole GOP: This is just the beginning. Donate to our victory fund right now and show them you can’t mess with Texas Dems? [[link removed]]

Taylor Rehmet just made history in Senate District 9 — a district that has been in Republican hands for a generation . A place where conventional wisdom said Democrats couldn’t win. And guess what?

Conventional wisdom was dead wrong.

This was a seat no one thought we could flip. But whether it’s SD-9 or Prop 50, when given the resources, Texas Democrats have the votes and the support. I’m telling you folks, it’s THERE.

I’m feeling a lot of things today, but one thing I’m not feeling is surprised, not one damn bit. We’ve been telling the world there are more future Democrats in Texas than y’all think. We just have to run good candidates, we have to connect with voters on the issues they care about, and we have to turn them out. And that’s exactly what we did.

We’ve got so many more fights left to win yet this year, and we cannot let our foot off the gas for a minute after a win like this. We have organizing to do across the state, the general election season is barely a month away, and battles on multiple fronts with a GOP that now knows what we’re capable of. Will you rush a donation of $HPC/$25 or more right away to help us gear up for the next one? [[link removed]]

We beat them because we knew something they didn’t: Texans are tired of the fearmongering, the cruelty, the endless attacks on public education, on abortion rights, on working people, on our immigrant communities.

And when we show up with a real plan, real candidates, and a real message — we win.

We turned out voters. Knocked on 20,000 doors . Made half a million phone calls . Built a Democrat turnout campaign that was powered by the people. And we flipped the seat.

Now imagine what we can do in 31 State Senate districts, 150 State House districts, all 38 Congressional districts, across the state for U.S. Senate , and every race up and down the ballot in November. Real Democratic victories here are within reach; we just proved it. But only if we can fund the work to keep this momentum going.

Can I tell my team that you’re in this with us? We could really use your support right now, if you can chip in $25 or whatever you can. [[link removed]]

This election year is only a month old, and we’re already shown that: * Republicans are beatable — even in districts they've taken for granted for years.
*
* Our strategy is working — from early investment to massive volunteer operations.
*
* Texans are ready for change — and aren’t willing to wait anymore.

But here’s the deal: this doesn’t work if we rest on our laurels. Let me know you’re in. [[link removed]]

We’ve got a primary in a matter of weeks, a full slate of candidates ready to take the fight to Republicans, and a statewide infrastructure that needs to scale up fast if we want to replicate this success in every corner of Texas.

So I'm asking you directly: be part of what’s next. Fuel this movement.If you’ve saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:

Taylor’s win isn’t the finish line — it’s the first lap of the race. Let’s f**king go.

— Kendall

P.S. This is the kind of win that makes Republicans nervous. That’s why we need to hit the ground running and make sure this wasn’t a one-time victory — it was the beginning of the shift. Help us raise $18,000 by midnight to fund the next round of wins >> [[link removed]]
We are the Texas Dems. We're protecting Texans from Republican extremists and their unending stream of misinformation statewide. Let's be clear, Texas Republicans have drawn district lines to choose the voters they want, and D.C. Republicans have poured tens of millions of dollars in dark money into Texas. We are on the front lines of pushing back against their influence with voters.
Taking Texas back from extremist Republicans is going to take all of us. Will you chip in now to help us elect Democrats who will work hard to represent all Texans, and not just the wealthy few? [[link removed]]
