Redistricting in Texas left most incumbent seats secure, but three South Texas races being watched.
An early morning pedestrian is silhouetted against sunrise as he walks through the U.S. Flags on the National Mall and past the US Capitol Building in Washington Monday, Nov. 7, 2022, one day before the midterm election will determine the control of the US Congress. This story will be updated as election results come in.
“There was no red wave in South Texas. There wasn’t even a red ripple,” said Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa in a statement shortly after Democrats claimed victory in two of the three South Texas districts., and again in June when political newcomer Rep. Mayra Flores flipped the 34th District red in a special election.
Vallejo, a progressive Democrat and political newcomer, received endorsements from national progressives politicians like Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib. Of all the U.S. House races, District 28 ranked fourth as the most money spent by candidates and outside groups, according to OpenSecrets, a nonpartisan campaign finance watchdog group. This includes the money spent during the primary election.
The race became a rare match between two incumbents as Gonzalez chose to run the 34st District rather than the 15th, which he has represented for three terms.
