Texas has been a fairly solid RED state that Trump won in 2016, 2020 and 2024. However, the Senate race is currently considered PURPLE and one that Democrats could win. House seats are overwhelmingly RED, except in a few places where they have historically been solidly BLUE. However, because of re-districting, a number of these seats are now PURPLE, with an unknown likelihood of remaining Democratic. Key PURPLE Districts in Texas include TX-15, TX-28 and TX-34 on the southern border, TX-16 in El Paso, TX-32 and TX-33 around Dallas, and TX-9 and TX-29 around Houston.
Senate Race
This is a Purple Senate race. In this Republican stronghold, there is a good chance of the Democrat, James Talarico, taking this seat and thus wresting control of the Senate from MAGA Republicans. In Purple races like this, every vote for the Democrat matters!
VOTE for James Talarico, Democrat, for US Senate!
If you are uncomfortable voting for Talarico, for whatever reason, or your are tempted to vote for one of the third party or independent candidates on the ballot, please consider swapping your vote with someone in a safe red or blue state where their vote for a third party can make more of a difference.
