Democrats won every statewide office in Texas in Tuesday's election, according to the Big Bend Sentinel. The story says many observers see the result as a rejection of President Donald Trump and his policies. It also reports that the last Democrat elected to a statewide office was elected 32 years ago.
Presidio County has long voted Democratic in a region that is mostly Republican, the story says. Brewster County has now moved from voting solidly Republican to voting for every Democratic statewide candidate.
In Jeff Davis County, Republicans still won statewide races. The story reports that the results there were closer than in past elections.
