Flores finished Tuesday with 51 percent of the vote, while Dan Sanchez came in second with 43 percent. Sanchez later conceded in a statement on Twitter.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6GzFpQ8BZI\">pic.twitter.com\/6GzFpQ8BZI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Dan Sanchez (@dansancheztx34) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/dansancheztx34\/status\/1536910222530420736?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">June 15, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>This is a historic win as the seat Flores will be filling until at least January was held by a Democrat for 10-years.
