Democrats Target 15 Texas House Seats

Democrats are pouring serious resources into Texas this election cycle, aiming to flip twelve Republican-held House seats — the first major national investment in the state in years. With three previously targeted districts added to the mix, Democrats are eyeing fifteen total seats to chip away at the GOP majority and build legislative power. They’re banking on strong local candidates, coordinated national and state support, and shifting voter sentiment — especially in South Texas and suburban areas — to replicate their 2018 success. While experts say full control of the House is still unlikely, the national party’s aggressive push signals a renewed belief that Texas is a battleground worth winning.
