Dan Patrick, who lost to Vikki Goodwin, is urging Republican state senators to change the Senate rules so the lieutenant governor office loses a lot of power.
Those changes could take away her ability to appoint Senate committee chairs, decide which bills reach the Senate floor, and control important parts of the legislative process. Some powers could instead go to a Republican Senate majority leader.

Texas Democrats have already started introducing legislation for when the new state government takes office in January 2027. In fact, more than 1,260 bills were filed on Monday, November 9.
SOME of the major Democratic proposals include:
Legalizing recreational marijuana for adults 21 and older.
Expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income Texans.
Raising the minimum wage from $7.25 to $15 or $17 an hour.
Eliminating the private school voucher program and increasing public school funding.
Repealing Texas abortion restrictions.
Changing voting laws to allow online voter registration and broader mail-in voting.
Reducing mandatory cooperation with ICE by local sheriffs.
Regulating data centers, including their electricity and water consumption and tax exemptions.
Restricting Flock surveillance cameras and increasing privacy protections.
Making college more affordable through tuition assistance.
Governor-elect Gina Hinojosa has also identified education policy and data center regulation as priorities.
