Texas voters on Tuesday elected the first two Muslim lawmakers to the state's Legislature. The Democrats — one in North Texas and one in the Houston area — defeated Republicans to win seats in the Texas House. Former Euless City Council member Salman Bhojani won a decisive victory against Republican Joe Livingston to represent the diverse Hurst-Euless-Bedford corridor. Bhojani's victory also gave Democrats one of their only wins in Tarrant County, which is Texas' last urban county dominated by Republicans.
