Taylor Rehmet

Rule Changes

Won special election January 31, 2026; will serve through end of 2026

Republicans have held Texas Senate District 9 since 1991. On February 1, 2026, a 33-year-old aircraft mechanic and union leader flipped it by 14 points—in a district Trump carried by 17 points just 14 months earlier. Taylor Rehmet was outspent roughly 10-to-1, lacked Trump's endorsement (his opponent had it), and won anyway.
