Union members running for office are charting a new future. After yesterday’s primaries, union-first candidates backed by the @TexasAFLCIO and @NCStateAFLCIO notched key wins. When rank-and-file workers run, working people’s voices show up on day one.

HUGE NEWS: Texas union membership is the highest it's been in 25 YEARS!
Our labor movement is steadily growing — all despite Greg Abbott’s anti-worker attacks, broken labor laws, and corporate union busting. Keep building worker power!

New from @josephineklee: “The working people of Texas are looking for somebody that is actually going through what they are, who can understand what their kitchen table issues are and make sure they have somebody that fights on their behalf.” texasobserver.org/texas-labor-ca…

“If (Taylor Rehmet) were to lose by six points, that’d be worth talking about,” one political expert told me ahead of the race. “And if Rehmet were to win? You’d say, ‘Holy shit.’”
(Rehmet won by 14 points). #TarrantCounty

Taylor Rehmet hopes a coalition of unions, blue collar workers, progressives and disaffected republicans will fuel a stunning upset in Texas Senate District 9, a +17 Trump district and hub of Christian nationalism. We'll find out tonight if he's right. texasmonthly.com/news-politics/…

Union leader absolutely blowing away a Trump-endorsed candidate in a deep red seat *in Texas* and this is the platform
Adam Carlson@admcrlsn
Demorat Taylor Rehmet just flipped a Trump +17 Texas Senate seat (Ft. Worth/Arlington area). The recent high water mark for Dems in the district was 43.6% (Beto 2018). Rehmet’s likely to exceed 55%. The heavily Latino parts of the district shifted sharply to the left from 2024
