“We are proud to support an outstanding candidate like Mayra Flores and our activists are ready to work around the clock to see her through her special election in June and general election in November. Not only will her fresh perspective be a welcomed addition to Congress, but Flores is the embodiment of the American Dream. In office, Flores will fight to increase access to quality, affordable health care, lower taxes, and get government out of the way so Texas families and businesses can succeed.”
