A former Republican congresswoman – Mexican-born Mayra Flores of Texas – launched her campaign for the 2024 election.
In June 2020, the outspoken Mayra Flores, the Hispanic Republican from Texas, made history by winning Texas’ 34th congressional district in a special election after the Democratic incumbent quit.
Flores, who arrived in the US when she was six and became a US citizen at 14, was the first Mexican-born woman to serve in the US Congress.
Unfortunately, last November, she lost her seat to a Democrat after the borders of her congressional districts were redrawn.
Yet, Flores hasn’t been discouraged. She is now starting her campaign for the 2024 election, after the GOP supported her to run for Congress anew, The Gateway Pundit reports.
The report notes that, hopefully, Flores will enjoy a lot more GOP backing.
The Mexican-born Republican who is a mother of four, the daughter of a farmer, and the wife of a US Border Patrol agent, announced her comeback bid in an interview on Fox and Friends.
Her campaign also released her first ad for the 2024 cycle in a minute-long online video, reports The Post Millennial.
The “real-deal conservative,” as the GP report describes her, slammed the administration of President Joe “No Border” Biden for allowing America’s invasion by millions of illegal immigrants.
She singled out Biden’s Homeland Security Secretary, the woke Alejandro Mayorkas, calling for his impeachment because of the “horrible job” he has done at the US-Mexican border.
Flores focused particularly on the rampant child trafficking through illegal border crossings, accusing the Biden administration of losing “track” of some 85,000 migrant children.
She concluded her interview by vowing to gain back the seat that she lost in November to Democrat Vincente Gonzalez.
The GP report urges Republicans to “work their hearts” to help Mayra Flores get back in Congress and the fate of her comeback bid certainly looks promising.
