Republicans recently announced Mayra Flores’ comeback effort with great fanfare, but Democrats argue that a redrawn district — and Flores’ voting record — are hurdles the GOP can’t clear.
, The Texas Tribune’s daily newsletter that keeps readers up to speed on the most essential Texas news., R-Los Indios, announced her long-awaited comeback bid.
Now, Democrats are not shying away from saying what they really think. The DCCC memo, titled the “NRCC’s Electoral Delusion in TX-34,” cited two main factors: the district fundamentally favoring Democrats and Flores’ vulnerabilities being on “full display.” Republicans have a lot riding on Flores this time. They went public with their recruitment efforts days before she announced, releasing internal polling that showed her tied with Gonzalez. And within hours of her announcement, she landed endorsements from all of House GOP leadership: Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Majority Leader Steve Scalise, Majority Whip Tom Emmer and GOP Conference Chair Elise Stefanik.
“As the district continues to trend toward Republicans, Flores’ message continues to resonate with Texans,” Bomar said.Matt Barreto, a Democratic pollster who surveyed South Texas in 2022 for the DCCC, said he never saw “any evidence of a conservative policy shift” among Latinos in the region. He said they may have looked like they were “up for grabs” as some are newer voters whose partisan preferences are still crystallizing. But they ultimately came home to Democrats by and large, he said.
Even Republicans in Texas are not united on Flores’ chances. Carlos Cascos, the former Texas secretary of state and Cameron County judge, is still considering entering the primary. In a“I have yet to speak to anyone that believes so…wishfull thinking,” he said. “But wishful thinking doesn’t win elections.”
