Polls have just closed in Texas, which is hosting two special elections (yes, on a Saturday!):

• The all-Dem runoff for #TX18, which has been vacant almost a year

• The D vs. R runoff in #SD09, which the GOP is worried about losing even though Trump carried it 58-41

Unsurprisingly, the AP declared Christian Menefee the winner of the all-Dem #TX18 special election. He'll *finally* replace Sylvester Turner, who died almost 11 months ago.

Menefee will also have to face longtime Rep. Al Green in the Dem primary on March 3, thanks to the new GOP gerrymander.

Winner of #TX18 runoff tomorrow will further narrow GOP's House majority. After the winner (a Dem) is sworn in, GOP will have 218-214 edge (w/ 3 vacancies).

Granted, another gov shutdown could make it easier for Mike Johnson to delay swearing in the winner, as happened with Adelita Grijalva.

Presumably Amanda Edwards or Christian Menefee will add their name to the list. The special election for TX18 is on Friday.

I'm sure Mike Johnson will do his thing and not know anything about it when asked when he'll swear in the new Representative.

I like both candidates, but I prefer Crockett and I will be voting for her in the primary. As a voter in the TX9 soon to be TX18 I guarantee we will go big for Jasmine.

Special election for TX18 happening now and Primary is March 3. Make sure registered and vote.
January 23, 2026 at 7:56 PM
We need to beat Republicans. We need to win the 2026 midterms. The TX18 special election is only making the House math tighter in our favor. But we need to be honest about how appropriations work like Senator Murray has been & like most Democrats have been in talking about the Republican budget.
January 22, 2026 at 6:21 PM
Again, after over 320 days of not having a Rep, the early vote for the TX18 special election’s runoff is finally happening. Stop suppressing votes (& remember this as GOP whines about the CA-01 special) & be useful if you want Democrats 1 step closer to taking power from the Republicans harming you.
January 21, 2026 at 7:42 PM
Reminder, tomorrow is the start of early voting for the TX-18 Congressional District special election.

With TX18 runoff election the end of January, a third vote is on the horizon. Unfortunately, it’s taken nearly a year to fill the seat formerly held by Sylvester Turner and before that, Sheila Jackson Lee. Gov Greg Abbott has intentionally delayed the process as much as possible.

Ask Adelita Grijalva and Christian Menafee or Amanda Edwards how optimistic they are that getting duly elected to Congress means that they will actually get to do their jobs.

Sylvester Turner (D-TX18) died on March 5, 2025. The last two on the list have to wait until Jan. 31, 2026 to have a runoff.

The ruling is a major win for the Trump administration and Texas Republicans, who engineered the map to give the GOP control of 30 of the state’s 38 congressional districts.
