Former GOP repmayraflores announced her run for her old seat. 'I have a lot of faith in god and my family and my amazing team that we will flip this district and take back what is ours in 2024.'
Flores announced her 2024 congressional bid in an appearance on Fox News on Tuesday morning. She was first elected in a special election in 2022, before losing in the general election, which took place in a redrawn district."I’m announcing for Congress. We are taking back our seat — Texas District 34. I’m very excited, and I have a lot of faith in god and my family and my amazing team that we will flip this district and take back what is ours in 2024.
Flores outlined border security, the economy, and eliminating child trafficking as chief concerns for her congressional campaign. "We want to empower our border patrol agents, strengthen our border security, of course our economy as well, and protect the children like I mentioned before that are being trafficked in this country right now," Flores said.
"This is for the people, and I ask the American people to support this campaign. This is a people’s campaign," she added.Flores, the first Mexican-born congresswoman, won the longtime Democratic House district on the border with Mexico in June 2022 in an upset. Her general election loss occurred in a redrawn district, which was more favorable to Democrats, but she is hoping to flip that redrawn district in 2024.
The Cook Political Report rates Texas's 34th Congressional District as Democrat +9 on its Partisan Voting Index while also rating the 2024 race in the district as"likely Democrat."
