 Fellow American — I want to level with you for a moment, because what just happened in Texas should concern every Republican who cares about keeping this country on track. A legislative seat that Republicans have held for decades just flipped to the Democrats in a special election. This is the kind of district our party normally wins comfortably. The kind of district that never makes national headlines because the outcome is supposed to be predictable. And yet, Democrats just walked away with it. That is not a coincidence. And it is not something we can brush off. Special elections are always imperfect snapshots, but they are often the earliest warning signs of the political climate heading into a midterm year. When voters start drifting away from us in places we normally dominate, it tells us enthusiasm is uneven, turnout is fragile, and Democrats are doing a better job motivating their base than we are motivating ours. With the House majority already hanging by a thread, this is exactly how disasters begin. Democrats are openly talking about taking back the gavel in 2026. They are recruiting candidates, lining up donors, and building massive outside spending operations right now. They believe momentum is on their side, and they intend to nationalize every competitive race, including districts like mine. If they succeed, we are looking at a House run by Hakeem Jeffries, endless investigations designed to cripple and IMPEACH President Trump, and a radical legislative agenda that raises taxes, stops border enforcement, and blocks every serious reform Republicans are trying to pass. I refuse to accept that future. That is why my campaign is acting early. We are building our turnout and digital programs now, reserving resources now, and preparing to communicate aggressively with voters long before Democrats define the battlefield for us. But early action requires early support. If you believe Republicans must hold the House, if you believe Texas must remain a firewall against the radical left, and if you believe President Trump deserves a Republican Congress that will actually fight for his agenda, I am asking you to stand with me today. Please chip in whatever you can right now to help us protect this seat and defend our House majority. This Texas flip was a warning. What we do next will determine whether it stays a warning, or becomes the beginning of something much worse.  Beth Van Duyne Congresswoman (TX-24) P.S. Complacency is how majorities die. Urgency is how they’re saved. Your contribution today directly helps us stay on offense and keep Democrats from taking control.
