De La Cruz defeated Democrat Michelle Vallejo, a political newcomer who ran on a platform of progressive social policy and close family ties to the region.
Vallejo had run an aggressive ground operation and was able to rally handsome donations from across the state. But she faced a death knell after less-than-favorable forecasts led national Democrats to dedicate their resources to protecting incumbents and supporting more promising races.From the get-go, the table had been set increasingly in Republicans’ favor.
Michelle Vallejo, Monica De La Cruz's Democratic challenger, at her watch party in McAllen on Tuesday.De La Cruz was in many ways a trendsetter in the Republican effort in South Texas. In 2020, the insurance-agent-turned-Republican lost to U.S. Rep., D-McAllen, by less than 3 percentage points despite the Democrat spending well over twice as much money.
All three races received precedent-setting cash infusions from out of state. That was not the case for the Democrats.
