About Taylor
Taylor Rehmet is a U.S. Air Force veteran, aircraft mechanic, union president, working-class Texan, and the State Senator for District 9. 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. He learned the value of hard work early, working as a plumber’s assistant and on a ranch before joining the Air Force. After his service, Taylor returned home and put those skills to work as a machinist building F-35s.
Taylor’s commitment to fairness and dignity on the job led him to union organizing. His coworkers elected him president of his local chapter of the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers, and he later became president of the union’s Texas State Council. He has spent his career bringing people together to fight for better pay, safer workplaces, and a fair deal for working families.
In January, Taylor won a historic special election because voters were ready for a leader focused on lowering costs for the middle class, not favors for special interests or divisive culture wars. He got to work immediately, holding the district’s first town hall in years, closing over 1,000 constituent cases in his first 100 days, and talking with hundreds of community members across Senate District 9.
Now, Taylor is working across the aisle to lower property taxes and everyday costs, make insurance more affordable, protect families from rising utility bills, repeal the private-school voucher scam, and fully fund public schools. He isn’t a career politician. He is a working-class leader who listens, shows up, and delivers real results.
November 3
WE'RE BACK ON THE BALLOT
Earlier this year, working people across Senate District 9 made history. In a district political insiders had written off, voters came together and elected Taylor Rehmet to the Texas Senate.
Now, Taylor is back on the ballot for a full term, and the stakes are just as high. We need every voter who helped flip this district, and everyone ready for lower costs, stronger public schools, and real results, to make their voice heard again.

We proved what’s possible when everyday Texans come together. On November 3, let’s do it again and keep Taylor working for Senate District 9.
Taylor on the issues
Working for You.
Being elected to represent Senate District 9 has been the honor of a lifetime.
Since taking office, my team and I have gotten straight to work, developing real solutions to lower costs, supporting our students and teachers, connecting veterans with the resources they’ve earned, and helping over 1,000 constituents navigate state government.
We’ve listened to hundreds of neighbors across the district, and we’re just getting started.
Here’s a look at some of the work we’ve done for you in the past few months.
Years
Our First Town Hall in
In April, Taylor hosted Senate District 9’s first town hall in years, bringing together educators, experts, parents, and neighbors to discuss the challenges facing Texas public schools and the solutions needed to address them.
Texas ranked seventh in the nation for public education 30 years ago. Today, it ranks 44th. That is unacceptable. Taylor is committed to ending the voucher scam, fully funding our public schools, and ensuring every student and teacher has the resources they need to succeed.
