Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX) posted a new campaign ad featuring a photo of his House GOP opponent Rep. Mayra Flores (R-TX) that was apparently edited to make the Republican appear more aggressive.
The ad specifically focuses on school safety and gun control, targeting Flores on her first congressional vote opposing the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act just weeks after a mass shooting at a Texas elementary school in May. The 40-second ad features a photo originally posted to Flores’s Instagram earlier this year and appears to have edited her eyebrows to give her a more aggressive look.
After the tragic shooting at Uvalde, Mayra Flores' first vote in Congress was AGAINST a bipartisan school safety bill. We need a representative that works to protect our children and families; not someone who puts them in danger. Remember to vote for Vicente Gonzalez. pic.twitter.
By winning, Flores flipped a crucial House seat in the Republicans' favor and set the stage for a competitive midterm election that will help determine which party controls Congress over the next two years. Gonzalez, who currently represents Texas’s 15th Congressional District, has used her victory to try to motivate voter turnout, warning that the Republican Party was seeking to steal the blue district in the GOP stronghold of Texas.
