Hispanic Republican Mayra Flores is Beating Democrat Opponent In Traditionally Blue Texas District

Could border districts in Texas experience a major political realignment during the 2022 midterms? 

Republican candidate Mayra Flores has recently taken the lead against her Democrat rival Dan Sánchez in the special election for Texas’ 34th congressional district per a poll by Ragnar Research. 

According to John Binder of Breitbart, Flores is leading the race with 24% of the vote, while Sanchez is at 19%. Roughly 41% of voters in the 34th district are still undecided. 

“Republicans have a real chance to win this district for the first time ever and flip a Democrat-held seat,” pollster Chris Perkins declared in a memo that Politico reviewed.
