Only in this great country can the granddaughter of a Mexican farm worker go from ironing shirts to get through college to become a member of Congress.
Thank you, South Texas! ¡Gracias! 🇺🇸
First, they called us "far-right Latinas."
Then, "breakfast tacos."
Now, we're "uneducated."
That's fine, because come January, you know what we'll be? Congresswomen.
Thank you, South Texas! I'm honored to have been elected to represent TX-15 in the People’s House, the legislative body that enshrined into law our belief that all men — regardless of race, color or creed — are created equal by God and made it possible for our daughters to vote.
Together we will make America Great Again and put Americans, American Communities and Families FIRST! 🇺🇸
The TRIPLE THREAT to the Democrat Party has made it's first move!! Congratulations Mayra Flores For Congress!!
My heart goes out to Bruce Willis and his family. Dementia is a cruel disease. We will always remember him as a great actor who has done a lot of good work helping combat veterans and sick children. Join me in me praying for him and all Americans who suffer from this illness.
Joe Biden’s presidency has been a disaster for our economy, the border, and Hispanics. As a congresswoman and a mother of two children, I’m supporting President Trump in 2024 because he will fight to strengthen our economy, keep our country safe, and make America great again. 🇺🇸
I've done so many interviews about why Hispanics are turning away from the Democrat party and it is really very simple. It is about our VALUES. We grew up conservative. We grew up with our faith and our family being the center of our lives. We grew up being thankful to live-
The story of Pearl Harbor cannot be told without Texas hero Doris Miller, the Navy cook who manned an anti-aircraft machine gun for which he had no training and became the first Black American to be awarded the Navy Cross. May we always remember him and all we lost that day.🙏🏻🇺🇸
I am excited to share that my new office in DC is going to feel like South Texas. When you come visit us on Capitol Hill, you will be greeted by a tribute to our beloved Selena, one of my favorite artists. ¡Un gran ejemplo de nuestra cultura!

The GOP just had its best midterm performance ever with Hispanics nationally, not just in FL.
I love Cubans, but we don't have many in South Texas. We won here by *nine* points.
Republicans also had gains with Hispanics in AZ, CA, GA and NV.
Worth a read.
Often the Cuban-American and Miami-Dade votes shape Election coverage narrative, because it happens early in the night. But there is much more to the Hispanic vote story.
Midterm results dispel Hispanic rightward shift | The Hill
The Republican Party just had its best performance ever with Hispanics in a midterm election.
This is a victory for every single one of us who loves the Spanish language and does not want to be called "Latinx."
"I am incredibly honored, humbled, and blessed by tonight's win. If there was ever any doubt, let it be known tonight — from the land of Juan Seguín, Selena Quintanilla, and the World Series champions Houston Astros — that El Sueño Americano is alive and well in South Texas."
America has lost a hero. Former Army paratrooper Tom Rice died on Thursday at 101. Rice parachuted into Normandy on D-Day in 1944 to free the world from tyranny. After the Army, he spent 40 years teaching civics to kids. A grateful nation will never forget you. Godspeed, sir. 🇺🇸

This is what the media won't show you but the BP wives will tell you. Their husbands pack extra sandwiches before they leave for work for the kids they find who are often hungry. 💚 The wives ask neighbors for toys that are no longer used to bring comfort to the kids their-
My abuelita always told me: Dime con quién andas, y te diré quién eres.
By campaigning with the most extreme member of the Senate, my socialist opponent is telling us exactly who she is — and why we must reject her radical agenda.
This week, my office was targeted twice with vandalism by pro-Hamas activists.
They're attacking me because even though South Texas has a small but vibrant Jewish community, I have been a vocal ally of our Jewish brothers and sisters in light of the worst massacre of Jews…
Day 1
I fulfilled my campaign pledge to repeal the hiring of 87,000 IRS agents, which will disproportionately hurt South Texans, minorities and low income families.
Promise made. Promise kept. ☑️
I appreciate The White House inviting me to a party, but as I told the president, our country has too many challenges that need my attention. Besides, I have a call with my kids at that time — and I'm more of a Shiner Bock and Taco Palenque girl, anyway.
@Elections_Daily
YES!! 🇺🇲 We on the border are tired of the Democrat rule!! Villalobos is a past GOP Chair. This is huge for Hidalgo and just the beginning.....
When I ran for Congress, I said I would hit the ground running for South Texas — and that is what I am doing.
Tomorrow, I will meet with local mayors to let them know they can always count on me and visit a school to commemorate Veterans Day.
The people's business starts now.
Republicans often say we want government to run more like a business — this is not how businesses work. The American people want a House that is united and will get something done. We are squandering an opportunity to stand strong and deliver for our communities.
As I said on election night, my victory is not just a win for Republicans. It is a win for all South Texans.
We're bringing our community together, and come January, we will roll up our sleeves and begin delivering for the people of South Texas.
🚨 ENDORSEMENT ALERT 🚨
I am proud to have received the official endorsement from former Navy Seal and future colleague, Congressman

Good morning, Texas! I am thrilled to offer you a sneak-peek of YOUR new Congressional office: Longworth 1415.
We'll have more to share soon. I can't wait to host y'all here! We’ll have plenty of pan dulce for our visitors.
Stay tuned! 🇺🇸🏛️
It is only appropriate to celebrate on Law Enforcement Appreciation Day, yesterday’s court ruling in favor of President Trump using military funds to defend our American borders and citizens. I stand with ALL law enforcement and together with Border Patrol celebrate this news.
MY OP-ED: Trump is Gaining with Latinos Because He Delivered the America Dream
Hispanics saw an economic resurgence under the Trump administration.
We will do it again. ¡VAMOS! 🇺🇸

PELOSI: "We have a shortage of workers in our country, and you see even in Florida, some of the farmers and the growers are saying, 'Why are you shipping these immigrants up north? We need them to pick the crops down here.'"
Radical liberals now say that if refuse to call yourself “Latinx” you are “transphobic.”
That’s insane.
I’m a proud Latina. We love our culture and we will never bow down to their demands.
It is not lost on me that my office was targeted for supporting Israel on the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, which foreshadowed the Holocaust.
South Texas is a kind community and we oppose antisemitism. Let’s teach our youth about the past to ensure history never repeats. 🙏🏼
I serve on Financial Services and want to be clear:
Taxpayers should NOT bail out Silicon Valley Bank. I’m not just a no on this — I’m a hell no.
When Americans miss rent payments, no one helps them out. We should not ask them to bail out reckless elites.
"Latine," a gender-neutral way to describe or refer to people with Latino origins, is surging in popularity over terms like "Latinx" on university campuses, in museums, and among researchers and media.
El socialismo es un cáncer ideológico que le ha arruinado la vida a innumerables hispanos y millones alrededor del mundo.
Si quieren ver la diferencia entre el socialismo y la libertad, es muy sencillo: las balsas nunca van hacia Cuba.
¡En Texas, creemos en la LIBERTAD!
These are my abuelitos. They loved America and worked hard under the scorching Texas sun so one day their granddaughter could stand before the nation and respond to the President of the United States. Only in America is this possible. I'll be thinking about them tonight. 🥹🙏🏼🇺🇸
Mijo, in the past few weeks I've taken questions from:
CNN
KURV
KRGV
MyRGV
NY Post
Newsmax
Fox News
Bloomberg
Texas Tribune
Washington Post
A virtual press conf with +30 reporters
...and that's just off the top of my head.
Always happy to chat with honest journalists!
I remember getting a call from FuturoRGV when they were calling anyone they could to get a hold of

⛔️Alert⛔️. Hidalgo County is a border community with a 92% Hispanic population.
Yesterday, the Republican primary votes increased by 50.7% over the 2020 Presidential Republican Primary Election.
While the Democrat votes DECREASED by 41%
Bye, Bye, Biden!
My family and I would like to thank our law enforcement community, Border Patrol, and all of the brave men and women serving our country during the Christmas season. We see you and are grateful for your service!🎄🇺🇸🙏🏻
It was an honor to welcome Gov.
@RonDeSantisFL
to the Lone Star State and share the stage with him at the Harris County Republican Party’s Lincoln Reagan Dinner.
I won't be sworn in until January, but I'm already working hard to find bipartisan solutions to our border crisis and ensure our Border Patrol agents have the resources they need to keep our communities safe. 🇺🇸
Hispanics are hard-working, patriotic, and smart — yes, including those who vote differently.
It is disappointing when celebrities dismiss nuestra gente as gullible or not "media savvy" because of our diversity.
Do better, guys.
Savannah GA stopped counting for the night??? That’s BS. The most important run off election happening and they stop. I see a crook in the night...do you?
The Biden administration needs to listen to Border Patrol agents and our community. Hispanics, like most Americans, do not want open borders. They strengthen the cartels, endanger migrants, and hurt our country.
Ronald Reagan was born on this day in 1911. As president, he unleashed the American economy, strengthened our military, and helped end an evil empire.
America is stronger today thanks to President Reagan. I, like many South Texans, wish him a happy heavenly birthday! 🇺🇸
Don’t let woke companies erase our history. We should take pride in our civilization and teach kids about our past — the good and the bad.
Happy Columbus Day!

"We are not the least bit surprised that Cartel Cuellar is bringing a sinvergüenza to South Texas to try to take down a young woman, but it won’t work."
Jorge, you live in Miami's richest neighborhood. ¡Felicidades!
It's easy to virtue signal from the comfort of an elite estate.
Not so easy when it's our community, our kids' schools, our hospitals, and our police departments that are overwhelmed by illegal immigration.
The real story is how the U.S. is demonstrating it is still a country that welcomes immigrants. While Gov. Abbott and Gov DeSantis are cruelly sending hundreds of refugees to other cities & states, they are being received with generosity and open arms.That’s the country I admire!
The Latino shift is REAL and it’s not just polling.
My community Hidalgo County, TX is +90% Hispanic.
These are turnout figures in our ongoing primary vs. 2020:
📈 Republicans: UP 40%
📉 Democrats: DOWN 36%
Adios, Biden! ✌🏼
