Former NASA astronaut Terry Virts announced his run for a seat in the U.S. Senate on June 23. Since then, his campaign has been working hard spreading his message and highlighting his values as a candidate and a Texan.
Virts hopes to flip the seat currently held by Sen. John Cornyn (R), who is up for reelection in 2026. Virts is the first Democrat to enter what is likely to be a crowded primary field, and he's already differentiating himself from what he views as D.C.'s "do-nothing Democrats."
