                <media:description>A woman with a Trump hat attends a campaign event for Monica De La Cruz, Republican candidate for Congress, and US Representative Mayra Flores (R-TX), who is running for reelection, at the University Drafthouse in Mcallen, Texas, on October 10, 2022. - When Mayra Flores made history this June as the first Mexican-born member of US congress, the Republican seized her south Texas seat from the Democrats by courting Latinos with strident calls to close the border. She is bidding to repeat her victory next month, when fellow Latina Republicans Monica de la Cruz, Cassy Garcia and Carmen Maria Montiel will also vie for nearby congressional seats that for decades have remained Democratic.
