Gov. Greg Abbott conceded his reelection bid to Democratic state Rep. Gina Hinojosa on Tuesday night, according to The Texas Tribune. Hinojosa, a state representative from Austin, would become Texas' first Latina governor. The Tribune said she would also be the first Democrat elected to the office since Ann Richards won in 1990. Richards lost her 1994 reelection bid to Republican George W. Bush.
In the U.S. Senate race, Democrat James Talarico, a state representative, defeated Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton. Paxton has served as Texas attorney general since 2015.
The Tribune reported both results as election returns continued to come in across the state.
