Republican Lance Gooden Wins Reelection to U.S. House in Texas’ 5th Congressional District – WTOP News
Democrats won all top statewide offices and flipped the Texas House, setting up a new legislative battle over abortion restrictions.
- On Tuesday, November 3, 2026, Democrats swept Texas statewide elections, winning the governorship and flipping the state House for the first time in over 32 years.
- Driven by young, Asian, and Latino voters, the shift reflects widespread dissatisfaction with Republican policies, including hardline immigration stances and strict abortion restrictions.
- Democrat Gina Hinojosa defeated incumbent Greg Abbott 52.9% to 45.6% in the governor's race, while Democrat James Talarico won his Tarrant County Senate race with 71.9% of the vote.
- Despite the Democratic sweep, Republicans retained their majority in the state Senate with 19 of 31 seats, creating a divided legislature for the January 2027 session.
- Governor-Elect Hinojosa pledged to "fire Mike Morath" on day one, though Texas Alliance for Life vowed to "hold the line on life" against any abortion restrictions rollback.
