Huge victory.
They told Taylor Rehmet this seat was unwinnable.
They told us not to waste resources.
Now the GOP lost a Texas State Senate race that hadn’t gone blue since the 90s.
This is what early support + candidates with lived experience looks like.
Run. Everywhere.

Fun fact: April Ghueder is the youngest person we’ve ever endorsed.
We backed her just months after her 18th birthday. Because leadership isn’t about waiting your turn, it’s about showing up when your community needs you.
If this sparked something in you… you might be next.
