Hispanic women are positioned to represent a large portion of Republican candidates running for Congress in Texas in the upcoming midterm elections. The rise in Hispanic conservative women running for office has state democrats worried, as they attempt to stem the gains republicans made with Hispanic voters in the 2020 elections.
In this year’s primary elections in Texas, four Hispanic women have already secured the republican nomination for Congress in their district, and an additional two are in midst of runoff elections.
Following in the path blazed by President Trump, who grew the republican party’s appeal amongst Hispanic voters like no conservative candidate in history, Texas republicans are poised to increase the number of republican Hispanic voters statewide. The Republican National Committee is invested in this growth, building Hispanic Community Centers to attract and educate Hispanic voters on conservative values and ideals. The RNC has currently built community centers in Houston, San Antonio, McAllen and Laredo.
One of the women seeking a congressional office this Fall, Mayra Flores who is running in Texas’ 34th District, is optimistic about the party’s future in the state “Our values in the Hispanic community are just beautiful and I just want to make sure that our values don’t die and I just feel that … the Democratic party is … fighting against those values.”
