Overview

• The Texas Majority PAC joined forces with the state Democratic Party on Monday to launch Blue Texas, an eight-figure, Soros-funded campaign aimed at transforming the state into a battleground by 2032.
• Kickoff rallies will be held later this month in 12 counties, including Harris, Dallas and Bexar, followed by a ‘Turn Texas Blue’ tour stopping in more than 24 cities next month.
• Texas Democrats have not won a statewide election since 1994 and currently hold just 10 of the state’s 38 congressional seats, highlighting the uphill task of the initiative.
• Internal polling suggests Attorney General Ken Paxton would be more vulnerable than Senator John Cornyn in a general election, offering Democrats a potential opening in the 2026 Senate race.
• San Antonio’s recent election of Gina Ortiz Jones as mayor provides an early boost and reflects local momentum for the new campaign.
