GOP Flips 84%-Hispanic Texas District: First Mexican-Born Woman Elected to Congress
In a special election to fill a seat vacated by the incumbent's resignation, Republican Mayra Flores topped Democrat Dan Sanchez. Flores leads 51% to 43%, with over 95% of the vote tallied as this report is written.
Flores will be the first Republican to represent that part of Texas since 1870—that's over 150 years. She also becomes America's first Mexican-born congresswoman.
Attention Democrats: This Republican is a pro-gun, pro-life, Latina wife of a Border Patrol agent.
