AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Texas Breakthrough: Gina Hinojosa defeated Greg Abbott to become Texas’ first Latina governor, while James Talarico beat Ken Paxton for the state’s first Democratic U.S. Senate win since 1988. Both victories mark a historic break in Republican control. Statewide Offices: Democrat Vikki Goodwin ousted Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, Nathan Johnson won the attorney general’s race, and Jon Rosenthal appeared headed to victory for Railroad Commission. Congressional Shifts: Democrats Bobby Pulido, Johnny Garcia and Katy Padilla Stout flipped Republican-held U.S. House seats; Vicente Gonzalez also declared victory. Republicans held other seats, including Pat Curry’s state House district. Washington: Democrats won control of both chambers of Congress, setting up a powerful check on President Donald Trump. Rising costs and voter frustration with the Iran war were central campaign issues.
