Governor Abbott Top Adviser Warns Democrats their Seats will be Open if They Do Not Return Back

Dave Carney, a veteran Republican strategist and key adviser to Governor Abbott, posted on X early Monday, encouraging potential candidates to gear up for special elections to fill Texas House seats. “Start preparing for the upcoming special elections for Texas House seats,” Carney wrote. “It’s a fast-moving process, and being ready will boost your chances. If you’re in a district with a departing Democrat, a special election may be called. It’s never too soon to plan. Turnout will be low, and every Texas House district has enough non-Democrat voters to secure a win. #txlege”
