Texas House District Flips, Lizzie Fletcher, Suburban Women
Democrat Lizzie Fletcher defeated nine-term Republican incumbent John Culberson in Texas' 7th District, a seat once held by George H.W. Bush. This victory was part of a broader "suburban revolt" where 53% of suburban women swung toward Democratic candidates. Analysts suggest that Beto O'Rourke's campaign provided a blueprint for future Democratic gains in the Lone Star State despite his personal defeat.
