Vincente Gonzalez (D-TX) until <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/midterm-election\/2021\/10\/26\/democrat-vicente-gonzalez-congressional-district\/\">news broke this past week<\/a>&nbsp;that he will be abandoning the constituents in his current, competitive congressional district \u2014&nbsp;a seat sought by Republicans such as De La Cruz-Hernandez \u2014 by choosing to run in a different congressional district that would be a safe Democrat district in order to have a higher chance of winning, Texas\u2019s 34th Congressional District.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>De La Cruz-Hernandez said that&nbsp;Gonzalez\u2019s news is \u201ca huge development for our district, for the state, and for the nation. Because finally, South Texas, the Hispanics down here, are going to get the representation that they deserve,\u201d noting that there are \u201cconservative values\u201d in South Texas and with her, they will be best represented.<\/p>\n<p>The Republican argued that&nbsp;Gonzalez has voted with Nancy Pelosi <a href=\"https:\/\/projects.propublica.org\/represent\/members\/P000197-nancy-pelosi\/compare-votes\/G000581-vicente-gonzalez\/116\">97 percent<\/a> of the time, which is why he is running for a different seat because he\u2019s \u201cproved that he\u2019s just power-hungry\u201d and focused on himself instead of being focused on his constituents.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is an awakening happening in South Texas among the Hispanic culture,\u201d De La Cruz-Hernandez explained, being a Hispanic Republican in the area. \u201cTheir awakening to see my values of faith, family, and freedom, no longer aligned with the Democrat Party\u2026 I think what President Trump did is he shook up the establishment. He shook up the people to say, \u2018pay attention to what is happening.\u2019 \u2026 that\u2019s what Hispanics are doing.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>She explained, in recent months, \u201cliberals\u201d have shown exactly how far left they have become, adding, \u201cthey\u2019re moving towards socialism.\u201d Immigrants that come into the United States from countries such as&nbsp;Venezuela,&nbsp;Colombia, and Cuba \u201cdon\u2019t want \u2026 they don\u2019t want socialism. So they are moving towards the Republican Party. And they\u2019re not just moving. They\u2019re running towards the Republican Party for safety in a country that they love.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>De La Cruz-Hernandez explained that despite&nbsp;Gonzalez announcing he\u2019s leaving the district, her campaign has not stopped, and she will be winning in the midterms: \u201cThe truth of the matter is, we were in a great race in 2020. We\u2019re running a great race now. We have not stopped. It doesn\u2019t matter if the center Gonzalez is in our district, out of our district, doesn\u2019t matter what Democrat wins in Texas 15. Team Monica, we are going to win in 2022.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Acknowledging that the district has not been represented by a Republican in the 120 years of its existence, she said flipping the seat to Republican would be historic, and \u201cwhen we win, it is going to be metric in size\u2026&nbsp;no district along the border has ever flipped red in Texas. So when we flip it, we will have elected the first Republican, female, Hispanic to represent the great state of Texas, in Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>LISTEN:<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it is a pivotal moment in the Republican Party,\u201d De La Cruz-Hernandez&nbsp;said about her winning&nbsp;Texas\u2019s 15th Congressional District. \u201cWe\u2019re all going to look back 10-20 years from now and say, \u2018This is the moment, this right here in the 2022 election\u201d \u2026 where the awakening and the Hispanic culture finally got into the Republican tent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe in 2022 that it won\u2019t be just five House seats that Republicans win. They are going to win 10 [to] 20 House seats because these people in the Democrat party just don\u2019t understand what the everyday American is feeling and what they\u2019re feeling,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p><em>Breitbart News Saturday airs on SiriusXM Patriot 125 from 10:00 A.M. to 1:00 P.M.
