Lyda Hinton was the last Democratic senator from Texas. She held office from 1993 to 2009. Since then, Texas has been represented by Republican senators. The state is now under scrutiny for a tight Senate race between Republican Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico. Polls indicate a close contest, but prediction markets suggest a different outcome. The election results for the Texas Senate race are expected to be announced shortly.
