John,
If flipping Texas is on your resolution list for 2026, then it’s time to
talk strategy.
This year isn’t about one election. It’s a marathon. Texans could be
voting up to six times in 2026—and our very first major opportunity to win
is happening this month.
On January 31, we have a real shot to FLIP a State Senate seat in North
Texas with Democrat Taylor Rehmet’s runoff election. Taylor is a veteran
and union leader who nearly won outright in November, forcing a runoff
after earning 48% of the vote against two Republicans. This seat is within
reach, but only if we organize early and show up strong.
Next comes March 3—the 2026 primary. This is where Texans choose the team
that will carry us into November.
During that election, voters will decide our nominee for U.S. Senate, with
the big contenders being Jasmine Crockett and James Talarico. We’ll choose
who takes on Greg Abbott for Governor. And we’ll pick Democratic nominees
for state legislative races across Texas. This is where the direction of
our party is set before the biggest fight of the year.
Then comes the finale on November 3: the midterm election where we
actually take seats and change who has power in Texas. But here’s what
can’t be ignored:
Between those “Big Three” elections are special and local elections in
April and May. These are the trap dates—low-turnout elections that fly
under the radar, where momentum drops and Republicans often quietly lock
in power.
Powered by People exists to make sure that doesn’t happen again.
Keeping track of every deadline, every runoff, and every election is
practically a full-time job. That’s why Powered by People doesn’t just
send a PDF or post once on social media. We give people a person, a guide
they can rely on.
When you support Powered by People, you help connect Texans with a real,
named volunteer who checks in, sends reminders, and makes sure no one
misses an election, from January runoffs to the midterms in November.
This is how Texas is won: by staying connected, building community, and
showing up every single time.
