About Taylor
Taylor Rehmet is a machinist and United States Air Force veteran who won a massive victory in January to flip his Fort Worth-area Texas Senate district blue. In November, Taylor came just 3 points shy of flipping this 30-year GOP stronghold outright, despite Republicans outspending him by millions. Then, Taylor headed for a runoff against a GOP candidate who supports banning books and called for the deaths of racial justice protesters. Taylor is ready to be a
powerful voice for working Texans as he fights for public school funding, better access to housing and health care, and a brighter future for all.
- Union member and President of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers (IAM) Texas State Council
- Ran against an extreme MAGA candidate who said in a social media post that racial justice protesters “need to die.”
