  Sarah Davis, the last pro-choice Republican in Texas, entered politics in 2010 after surviving cancer in her early 30s. She quickly clashed with her party when she voted against a bill mandating sonograms for rape victims.

  
  

  Over the next ten years, Sarah forged a proudly moderate-verging-on-contrarian reputation for herself, one that drew the ire of Republican Governor Greg Abbott and felt increasingly at odds with the extremism animating her party. 

  
  

  When she lost in 2020 in a wave of anti-Trump sentiment that swept her affluent Houston district, Sarah stepped away from a party she felt increasingly alienated from – though she insists she remains a Republican to this day.

  Mayra Flores, the first Mexican-born member of Congress, won a 2022 special election in TX-34 but lost her seat months later due to redistricting. 

  
  

  Determined to return in 2024, Mayra campaigns in her historically Democratic Rio Grande Valley home, confident that conservative Hispanic values will deliver a red wave. Inspired by Trump’s 2016 victory, Mayra converted her family to the GOP and jumped into politics to follow her MAGA heroes. 

  
  

  On election night, her supporters gather in the hope they’ll see both Mayra and her idol, Donald Trump, return to power.

  Geanie Morrison of House District 30 is the longest-serving Republican woman in the Texas House. After 25 years, she is ending a career that began when she reluctantly ran for office after years managing local campaigns.

  
  

  A college dropout and stay-at-home mom, Geanie became a respected peacemaker, known for prioritizing relationships over party politics—even when it meant helping Democrats.

  
  

  Though proud of her conservative record, she laments the bitterness of modern politics, embodying a fading generation that sees public service as a calling, not an opportunity for personal gain.
