1.31.2026 Texas Senate Democrats Congratulate Taylor Rehmet on Historic Election to Senate District 9

AUSTIN, TX—Today the Texas Senate Democratic Caucus released the following statement:

We are thrilled to congratulate Taylor Rehmet on his well-earned victory in this important election! Despite being outspent 10:1 with millions of dollars from outsiders, Taylor remained focused on the issues that matter most to hardworking families in Senate District 9.

A union president and veteran, Taylor embodies the values of hard work and commitment to public service. He believes every Texan deserves a fair shot at success—and that opportunity should not be determined by zip code or bank account. As the costs of living continue to rise, Taylor is fighting to ensure everyone can keep a roof over their heads, pay their bills, and put food on the table without struggling paycheck to paycheck. We need more leaders like him in the Texas Senate to build a state where hard work is respected and families can truly thrive.

The outcome of this election sends a strong message: When candidates remain true to their values and place the needs of Texans first, they can overcome any obstacle, no matter how well-funded or well-connected. Taylor has proven that the voices of everyday people matter and cannot be drowned out by powerful special interests.

We look forward to Taylor serving in the Texas Senate and working with him to improve the lives of all Texans.
