Texas Senate remains GOP as Staples wins 3rd District
After the November 7 vote the Texas Senate stayed Republican and the Texas House remained Democratic. The tight margins set the stage for fierce redistricting fights and required bipartisanship in the next Legislature, a result seen as positive for Texans. Todd Staples’ victory tipped the Senate toward the GOP while David Cain’s win kept a Democratic seat and maintained a narrow Senate margin.
