Rio Grande Valley Republican Mayra Flores believes she’s poised to flip deep-blue Texas Congressional District 34 red in a special election for a U.S. House of Representatives seat on June 14.

“I’m going to win South Texas. We’re going to win Cameron County,” Flores, of Harlingen, told The Epoch Times. If she’s successful, it will represent a seismic political shift in deep-blue South Texas.
