Moderate Democrats prevailed in two of the three highly contested Texas congressional districts, showing there's still a lot of ideological grappling and spending to come in the political wrestling match over the region’s Latino electorate.
Cuellar trounced Garcia in Webb County, the border county in the district, winning 76% of the vote, while Garcia ended the night with 29.4%, unofficial results show.On Election Day, Tony Torres, 53, was outside the Lark Community Center polling site in McAllen, urging votes for De La Cruz.“We see it as an ideological war. They are trying to change a lot of things, the Hispanic culture,” Torres said of Democrats. “We believe the [far left] is trying to destroy that.
Aleyda Gonzalez said she voted Democratic in Edinburg in the Rio Grande Valley to protect abortion rights.“I’m against the law banning abortion, because I think it’s a decision of every woman," she said in Spanish."We should not have a law controlling that. We should not make it illegal." “The people of South Texas have spoken. They have chosen someone with a track record of bringing vital resources to South Texas," Gonzalez said in an election night statement.
In a statement, Macarena Martinez, the Republican National Committee spokeswoman in Texas, focused on the state wins, saying voters “want to keep Texas red, keep Texas prosperous and reject the failed progressive policies of Joe Biden and the Democrat Party.”“For a month there in the Valley, it felt like it was Vegas or Phoenix and being in a battleground area,” said James Aldrete, a Democratic consultant.
