Longtime Texas Democratic House district goes GOP after Mayra Flores wins special election
|
[NYPOST] Republican Mayra Flores defeated the leading Democratic candidate for an open congressional seat in a historically blue region of South Texas in a Tuesday special election.
Flores, who will be the first Mexican-born congresswoman, garnered about 51% of the vote to top Dan Sanchez, who received 43% of the vote with all precincts reporting.
The seat had been vacated in March by former Democratic Rep. Filemon Vela.
Shortly after 9:30 p.m., Flores declared victory at her election party in San Benito, the Texas Tribune reported.
"For over 100 years, we have been taken for granted," she told her supporters, according to the report. "I will show you what real representation looks like. I will represent all people."
Sanchez conceded Tuesday night, and blamed Democrats for their lack of support.
