Huge MAGA Win Secured

Flores

Republican Mayra Flores beat the leading Democratic prospect for an open congressional seat in a traditionally blue area of South Texas in a June 14th special election. Flores, who will be the very first Mexican-born congresswoman, amassed about 51% of the vote to leading Dan Sanchez, who got 43% of the vote with all precincts reporting.

The seat had actually become vacant in March when previous Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela announced his resignation.

Shortly after 9:30 p.m., Flores declared victory at her election party in San Benito, the Texas Tribune reported.

“For over 100 years, we have been taken for granted,” she told her supporters, according to the report. “I will show you what real representation looks like. I will represent all people.”

Sanchez yielded Tuesday night, and blamed Democrats for their absence of assistance.

“Based on the results, we came up short tonight …” he said in a statement to the Tribune.

“Too many factors were against us, including little to no support from the National Democratic Party and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.”

Another election for the seat will be kept in November. Texas Congressional District 34 stretches from Brownsville to Cuero on the Gulf Coast, however following redistricting the size of the district will be almost cut in half, running north from Brownsville and Port Isabel to Kingsville south of Corpus Christi.

Flores, backed by Texas Gov. Greg Abbot and Senator Ted Cruz., invested over $1 million on commercials for the election while the Democrats chose it wasn’t worth buying a race that would be up for grabs once again in the fall, the paper reported.

Joe Biden had actually won the Texas 34th district by simply 4 points in the 2020 election.

Flores supposedly won the assistance of SpaceX, Tesla, and Twitter owner, Billionaire Elon Musk.

“I voted for Mayra Flores – first time I ever voted Republican. Massive red wave in 2022,” Musk tweeted.

Flores on Tuesday defeated the leading Democratic candidate for an open congressional seat in a traditionally blue area of South Texas.

She gathered about 51% of the vote to leading Dan Sanchez, who got 43% of the vote with all precincts reporting.

After revealing his support for Flores, Musk verified his plan to vote for Republican candidate Ron DeSantis in the upcoming 2024 Presidential Primary.

The governor and potential presidential candidate sparked controversy after signing in March the Parental Rights in Education bill, which left-wing and liberal critics have misleadingly described as the “Don’t Say Gay” law.
