Mejia Extends Lead to 889 Votes in NJ-11 Special Dem Primary

Analilia Mejia widened her lead over Tom Malinowski in New Jersey’s 11th Congressional District special Democratic primary to 889 votes (18,584 for Mejia vs. 17,695 for Malinowski) after Essex County added 839 tallies; counts remain unsettled with thousands of provisional and mail ballots in Essex, Morris, and Passaic counties, meaning final results could shift before a potential April 16 special election against Republican Joe Hathaway for Sherrill's unexpired term.

Democrat Flips Texas Fort Worth State Senate Seat

Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Fort Worth-area Texas state Senate special election, flipping a seat long held by Republicans and signaling momentum for Democrats in local races; he defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss by a wide margin with strong backing from national groups, though the district is redder than its county and the seat will only last until January 2027, requiring a November general election to secure a full four-year term.

Democrat flips a red Texas Senate district in Fort Worth-area upset

Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a Texas state Senate special election, flipping a Fort Worth–area district that Donald Trump carried by 17 points in 2024. Rehmet defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss as results firmed, in a seat open after incumbent Kelly Hancock’s resignation. The victory adds to Democrats’ strong showing in recent specials and is viewed as a caution for Republicans under Trump-era politics. Rehmet will serve the remainder of the term and must win in November to secure a full four-year term, with the GOP still holding a comfortable Senate majority.

Democrat Christian Menefee Wins Texas Special House Seat, Narrowing GOP Majority

Democrat Christian Menefee won the Texas 18th Congressional District’s special election, defeating Amanda Edwards in a runoff to fill the remainder of Rep. Sylvester Turner’s term and narrow Republicans’ already slim House majority. He pledged universal health care, said he would pursue action against Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over ICE operations, and addressed President Trump in his victory remarks. The win keeps a Democratic-leaning seat in contention ahead of a March 3 Democratic primary for the full 2027 term in a newly drawn district.

CT's 139th House race teeters between historic firsts and courtroom drama.

CT's 139th House race teeters between historic firsts and courtroom drama.

Voters in Connecticut’s 139th House District are voting in a winter special election to fill the seat left by the late Rep. Kevin Ryan. The contest could produce CT’s first tribal member in the General Assembly or the district's first Republican in decades. Democratic nominee Larry Pemberton Jr., an Eastern Pequot member, faces Republican Brandon Sabbag, a businessman who has homelessness history and a 2018 criminal record; a third candidate, Mark Adams, is suing to be on the ballot as a write-in after an Independent Party nomination dispute. A judge’s ruling in Adams’s favor could trigger a redo. Early turnout favored Democrats; endorsements and intra-party tensions could influence this 10-month term before the seat is on the ballot again for a full two-year term, potentially prompting a summer primary.
