Last week we could tell something big was happening in Texas from Early Voting turnout. Today we can say it happened.
As the country and world watched, Texas didn't just inch towards blue with a few isolated flips, it was a total sweep. And Blue Horizon candidates were there every step along the way making it happen.
Today we celebrate and congratulate all of the winners across the state, especially those in the Blue Horizon family.
And we salute the hard work and sacrifice of our candidates who didn't prevail in their own elections but helped make the statewide wins possible by turning out Democrats in the very reddest of districts. This was their win too!
Over the years, we have measured success not by the number of wins, but by the infrastructure built, the experience gained, and the incremental movements in countless districts.
This year we celebrate both.
Our candidates flipped at least 16 seats and counting, with several more races too close to call. We're waiting to hear confirmation about state house flips in College Station, Ft. Bend, and Bell County. Plus county races in Bastrop, Nueces, and Brazoria!
Tomorrow we will share some better formulated reflections and some more wins, but for today, please raise a glass to Blue Horizon winners as we post them!
Finally, we'd like to call out some wins from two very special Blue Horizon family members.
Our friend, 2018 sister candidate who flipped a red seat blue, champion of countless downballot candidates across the state, and Blue Horizon Action Fund Board Member is the next Lieutenant Governor of Texas. Congratulations, Rep. Vikki Goodwin. One of the hardest working candidates out there. We love you and are eternally grateful for all you have done.
Congratulations to our good friend and former Blue Horizon Texas Board Member Clayton Tucker, our next Texas Agriculture Commissioner! Check out this throwback picture from his 2020(?) campaign!
