In 2018, for the first time in at least 25 years, the Texas Democratic Party fielded at least one candidate in each of the state's 36 congressional districts.[1] The state congressional delegation changed from a 25–11 Republican majority to a 23–13 Republican majority, the most seats that Democrats have won in the state since 2006. Democrats won almost 47% of the vote, likely as part of a down-ballot effect of Representative Beto O'Rourke's Senate candidacy, in which he won 48.3% of the vote. Turnout was also doubled from the last midterm election.
