Republican Mayra Flores remains on the offensive in Texas’s traditionally blue 34th Congressional District, making last-minute campaign stops in hopes of overwhelming her main Democratic rival in a special election on June 14.
Republicans on the national level have been pouring their funds and efforts into the race because they believe South Texas Latinos share the same concerns as conservatives about border safety and the economy. The possibility of making inroads into a Democratic stronghold has emboldened Republicans, who aim to flip the district red and regain control of the U.S. House of Representatives.
