Medina compared Flores to two other Republican Latinas running in South Texas, Cassy Garcia and Monica De La Cruz, and claimed that they are in the same &#8220;far-right&#8221; mold as Flores due to their similar ideological bent and collaboration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>South Texas, traditionally a cornerstone of Democratic support in the state, has <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.texasmonthly.com\/news-politics\/republican-latinas-rio-grande-valley\/\"><span>shifted<\/span><\/a><span> substantially to the right in recent elections.
