    The incumbent was cursed by Trump’s endorsement.

    While Trump has steadily maintained that “affordability” is a Dem “con job”, the newly elected mayor’s winning message has been to make things more affordable for Miami residents

    The conservative-leaning district, which covers parts of Clarke and Oconee counties,
    has been under Republican control since 2019.

    The winner Gisler previously ran in 2024, but received less than 40% of the vote.
    for this special election in 2025, Gisler made affordability a key focus of his campaign, and
    was able to get 50.9% of the votes​

    was there anything else about his background that could be significant in the current environment?

    a 31 point swing

    Democrat Taylor Rehmet won a special election for the Texas state Senate on Saturday, flipping a reliably Republican district that President Donald Trump won by 17 points in 2024.

    Rehmet, a labor union leader and veteran, easily defeated Republican Leigh Wambsganss, a conservative activist, in the Fort Worth-area district. With almost all votes counted, Rehmet had a comfortable lead of more than 14 percentage points.

    "This win goes to everyday working people," Rehmet told supporters.

    I had no idea about this election or who this dude was, so I’m interested in learning about how he ran his campaign and what his messaging was
