State Senator Sarah Eckhardt, an Austin Democrat and former Travis County judge, hopes to revive a more Bullockian comptrollership as she vies to become the latest Democratic nominee for the position, which is semi-vacant for the first time in 12 years. https://www.texasobserver.org/sarah-eckhardt-texas-comptroller-bob-bullock/

Trump has 251 days left until the #midterms. Last night he had the best chance of the year to address the nation with his State of the Union Address and present the reason people should vote for him. Instead he vowed to continue his unpopular tariffs, in spite of them being struck down by The Supreme Court. He acted like killing sailors in the Caribbean was a good thing, and he pretended that all that had gone wrong in Minneapolis was them accepting Somali immigrants.
He will lose in November.

The job #Spanberger took on Tuesday night can be thankless∶ Fumbling the opposition party’s response to the #SOTU speech is a bipartisan tradition dating back decades. But she completed the task without committing a memorable or meme-able error.
…Her own election last fall, #Spanberger said in her speech, was a referendum on Trump’s first year in office & demonstrated that voters preferred #Democrats who run as a moderate counterweight to the president. This year’s #midterms, she predicted, would continue that trend.

Emmer only lasts 20 seconds (with veteran constituent and opponent in MN-06 race)
He has been trying to speak with Congressman Tom Emmer for over a year. Emmer finally showed his face in Minnesota and lasted 20 seconds before running away. This is what Emmer's representation looks like in the 6th District. #vote #politics #midterms #Minnesota
#Virginia Governor #AbbySpanberger, whose decisive victory in November was seen as an early #midterms warning sign for Republicans, will deliver the official #Democratic response to the speech.
Democratic US Senator #AlexPadilla of #California, who was shoved to the ground & handcuffed last year after attempting to ask a question of #DHS Secretary #KristiNoem at a press conference, will give the Spanish-language #rebuttal.
What to expect from Trump’s State of the Union

In our magazine, from Justin Miller: "State government was stopping us from being innovative, was stopping local government from governing. And the state government seems to be, on whole, pretty comfortable with devolving into a survival of the richest." https://www.texasobserver.org/sarah-eckhardt-texas-comptroller-bob-bullock/

Our top story: Taylor Rehmet’s stunning victory has not just energized the Democratic Party heading into the 2026 #midterms; it’s seen as proof of concept for an upstart slate of candidates who have come from the ranks of organized labor to run for office and, ideally, shake up the status quo of Democratic politics in #Texas. https://www.texasobserver.org/texas-labor-candidates-run-for-office/

What’s at stake in this election? In many ways, it’s the viability of reform-minded prosecutors in a state that’s becoming increasingly hostile to criminal justice reform. https://www.texasobserver.org/bexar-county-district-attorney-dem-primary/
