About Taylor
Taylor Rehmet is a union president, veteran, and working-class Texan running for State Senate to fight for public schools, affordable housing, and real results for everyday people. Born and raised in Garland, Taylor grew up in a working-class family—his dad was an aircraft mechanic, and his mom worked in a local salon. From a young age, he learned the value of hard work, helping out as a plumber’s assistant and working at a horse ranch before joining the U.S. Air Force. After his service, Taylor returned home, picked up a wrench, and went to work as a machinist using the skills he obtained during his time in the military.
His passion for fairness and dignity on the job led him to union organizing, where he was elected president of both his local and state chapters of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers. He’s spent his career fighting for better pay, safer workplaces, and a seat at the table for working Texans. Taylor isn’t a career politician—he’s a leader who listens, shows up, and gets things done.
Taylor is running because he’s tired of seeing state leaders ignore the real struggles of everyday people. He believes in fully funding public schools, protecting veterans, investing in affordable housing, and putting workers first. For Taylor, public service isn’t about politics—it’s about showing up, doing the job, and never backing down from a fight worth having.
The Potential.
Texas Senate District 9 is more competitive than ever, and ready to flip. In recent local elections, Fort Worth voters sent a clear message: they’re done with MAGA extremism. As Donald Trump’s unpopular policies continue to dominate the headlines, voters across SD 9 — especially independents and moderate Republicans — are looking for leaders who put their community first.
This district is ready for a new kind of representation. The right Democratic candidate — someone who focuses on real results, not culture wars — can build the coalition it takes to win. Working families, veterans, educators, and everyday Texans are ready for a senator who listens, leads, and delivers. SD 9 is in play—and together, we can take it.
