Democratic Rep. Vicente Gonzalez is projected to defeat GOP Rep. Mayra Flores in her reelection bid for Texas' 34th congressional district.
Her race was closely watched around the country as the GOP invested heavily in flipping them. CBS News projects Democrats will maintain two of three House seats in Texas' Rio Grande Valley area – districts located along the U.S.-Mexican border. One of those was Flores' seat.
Gonzalez, who served Texas' 15th congressional district, opted to run in the 34th congressional district after district lines were redrawn. Gonzalez supported abortion rights and strong border security. He thanked"I hope all of us can come together and work for the betterment of all South Texans and Americans, regardless of political affiliation," said Gonzalez.
