ICYMI: Texas Women Make History!

You don’t want to miss this!

Hi friend,

Texas is on the verge of a historic first, with women poised to hold the state's three most powerful leadership positions! Democrat Gina Hinojosa has been elected Texas' first Latina governor, while Vikki Goodwin will become the state's first female lieutenant governor. Meanwhile, longtime Democratic Representative Senfronia Thompson has announced that she has enough votes to become the first woman and first Black speaker of the Texas House when lawmakers convene in January.

These groundbreaking victories follow Democrats' historic gains in Texas, including winning a majority in the state House for the first time since 2003. If Thompson is elected speaker, the three women will form Texas' first all-female leadership trio, marking an extraordinary milestone for representation and opening a new chapter in the state's political history.

Thank you for standing with us!

In solidarity,

Emily from The Smile
