    2024 General Election Results

    By Curtis Courtney, County Chair, Bastrop County Republican Party

    The 2024 General Election was all about keeping Texas and Bastrop County RED. I am proud to announce that Republican candidates won every race in Bastrop County in the general election. I would like to thank Bastrop County voters for exercising their right.


    According to Ryan Data and Research, more votes were cast in 2024 than any previous general election in Texas. They reported some interesting statistics. When it comes to gender, females made up 53% of the votes while males made up 44%. Eighteen to 29 year olds made up 15% of the vote while those 30 to 49 equaled 33%, 50 to 65 was 35% and 70 and above was 17%. Of the population that voted, Hispanics comprised 20%. Texas Values reports that these were multiple demographic shifts. Historically, the younger vote is more liberal, but this year in Texas, the 18 to 29 year old demographic was split 49% to 49% between President Trump and Vice President Harris, according to exit polls by NBC News. Secondly, Trump won the majority of Hispanic voters in Texas. Many anticipate this shift will continue to grow. In Texas, President Trump won 243 (including Bastrop County) out of 254 counties. This was more than he won in 2016 and 2020. According to Texas Values, President Trump was successful in South Texas, flipping Starr County, “Red”. Something that hasn’t been done since 1892!

    Senator Ted Cruz exceeded all expectations by beating Colin Allred by over 8%. Also, he Republicans picked up two new seats in the Texas House, to add to their majority. Republicans in Texas continue to have the majority in both the House and the Senate.

    Overall, Bastrop County, the State of Texas and the country had a good day.
