Democrat Vicente Gonzalez beats Mayra Flores in hotly-contested Texas House race
Fox News
GOP Rep. Mayra Flores will lose to Rep. Vicente Gonzalez in their hotly-contested Texas House race, a blow to GOP hopes of a large House majority in 2023.
Despite Flores' win earlier this year, the newly-elected congresswoman was in for an uphill battle to hold onto her seat since day one, as her district was redrawn to include greater swaths of Democrat-voting San Antonio. Sophia Slacik is a production assistant for Fox News Digital.
In Flores' special election race, the congresswoman ran under previous district lines where Biden won by +4 percentage points in 2020, however under new district lines, the +16 Biden district is far more friendly to Democrats than before.
