WASHINGTON, D.C.— Today, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement congratulating E-PAC endorsed Mayra Flores on winning the Special General Election for Texas’s 34th Congressional District outright:

“Congratulations to E-PAC endorsed Mayra Flores on her inspiring and historic Special Election victory in TX-34. I was extremely proud to endorse Mayra early on in her campaign before we even knew that there would be a Special Election. 

With E-PAC’s early and critical support to help flip the first seat of the election cycle, Mayra’s victory has sent shock waves across South Texas and brought the Red Tsunami crashing down early.

As the first Mexican-born woman elected to Congress, Mayra has sent a resounding message to the Democratic Party in South Texas and across America— Democrats do not own the Hispanic vote. Mayra is the American Dream, and she is a strong example of the historic E-PAC GOP women leading the fight to take back the House and save America. I’m excited to work with Mayra in Congress and to help her once again win in the General Election so that she can play a critical role in Republicans’ efforts to stop the Biden Border Crisis and help fix our broken immigration system.”
