Republican Mayra Flores prevailed over three others in the race to avoid a runoff and fill former Democratic Representative Filemon Vela’s seat, who resigned from Congress in March to take a job with a private lobbying firm.
The win is especially significant as the Cameron County district is almost entirely Hispanic and voted for Biden by 13% in 2020.
Dave Wasserman first called the race on Twitter.
I’ve seen enough: Mayra Flores (R) defeats Dan Sanchez (D) in the #TX34 special election, flipping an 84% Hispanic Rio Grande Valley seat red.

It’s a surprising win for the 84% Hispanic district.
But Flores will only hold the seat through January. Due to redistricting, she faces changing lines that will shift the district to slightly more Democrat-friendly territory.
However, Hispanic voters are thought to be shifting to the Republican party as Democrats fail to make progress on key voter issues. The midterm election will be a test for the strength of that theory and may hold insight into the 2024 presidential election.
This story is developing and will be updated as more information becomes available.
Enjoy the ride. There’s more to come
Hooray awesome
The new republican party will be run by Hispanics. And yes, that’s how we save American from the Marxist Progressives.

TIME FOR THE BIDENS TO PAY THE PIPER, HOW CAN WE WASTE MORE OF THE TAX PAYER MONIES, WITHOUT APPROVAL FROM CONGRESS, OR ANY AMERICAN TAX PAYOR PERMISSION, IMPEACHMENT SHOULD NOT TAKE LONG IN 2022 ,WHAT A FXXXIN WASTE OF GOVERNMENT. THIS IS THE END OF THE DEMOCRAT PARTY FOREVER. EVERYBODY IS SUING FOR HUNTER BIDEN’S TRAVEL RECORDS, ON TAX PAYER MONIES TO CUT THEIR PERSONAL FINANCIAL DEALS WITH SECRET SERVICE SECURITY PROTECTION ON AIR FORCE TWO, GATHERING THAT POT OF GOLD FOR THE BIDEN FAMILY. The biden’s pot of gold from China, what did it cost America? Inside traders must go, they are not honest,has China installed a puppet government with the Biden’s? Another staged setting for the fake biden, National Security risk? yes, the bidens are, compromised yes, they are, right down to the last 30 millions they received from China Communist ,sold us down the river to China and Russia, Wake up America there is a traitor in the White House Biden and his band of misfits are not faithful to their oath of office, ‘Stupid fxxxing laws, Stupid fxxxing reporters”, DEMOCRATS KEEP BREAKING THE USA LAWS AND JUST DON’T CARE, TIME TO VOTE THEM OUT, PELOSI CHEATS, WHERE ARE THE INSIDE TRADER INVESTIGATIONS, CONFLICTS OF INTEREST, DEMOCRATS SAY FXXX YOU AMERICA. ( Patriotic post .com} Former White House doctor Ronny Jackson has called for President Joe Biden to undergo a cognitive test, citing his shocking performances with the press. Everybody is stupid except joe biden, and of course the smartest man he ever met, was hunter biden, the corrupt fantasies of joe biden’s world of criminally insane BS. The biden crime family should be forced to return all the money they have accepted from Russia and China. Pay to play is a crime against the the United States when they broke their oath trust when sworn into office. Why keep them in power? look what they still have accomplished for China and Russia and nothing for the United States or America.
GREAT victory
Elon Musk also voted for this individual. Helping her with his vote too.
Too bad there were so many dumb people that voted for biden and his democrats, in the first place. They ignored all of the warnings, but NOW finally woke up because they are feeling the damages and pains caused by the marxist left. How long will they remember it, though?
