Former Texas Congresswoman Mayra Flores announced that she going to run for the House seat she lost last year.
Flores won a special election for an open seat in Texas' 34th congressional district in June 2022 after Democrat Rep. Filemon Vela Jr. resigned to take a job at a lobbying firm. But Flores lost in the general election in November to Democrat Vicente Gonzalez by more than 8 percentage points.
Republicans have been targeting the seat she lost after becoming the first Mexican-born woman to be elected to the House. The National Republican Congressional Committee commissioned a poll that showed Flores' chances of taking back the seat greatly have improved, the Washington Examiner reported.
