@arrrg it's OK to be joyful about this particular race, while also acknowledging Texas is a steep uphill battle. A 31 point swing from 2024 is remarkable. It's a special election, so turnout was low (something like 100,000 votes in a district with a million residents, I think, Texas Senate districts are large) and the Republican is an extremist who made a lot of soccer moms mad with her school board fuckery.
Nonetheless. A 31% swing in a "safe" red district is really something.
