Texas has increasingly become a Republican stronghold over the last election cycles. From the governor to the attorney general, conservatives dominate the government both at the state and the federal level. But Democrats are seeking to change that, and a House race in the Rio Grande Valley area is part of that.
Texas' 15th District comprises a narrow strip of land running from western Hidalgo County in the Rio Grande Valley, northwards to eastern Guadalupe County, to the east of San Antonio. In 2022, it stepped into the national spotlight as it flipped a traditionally Democratic seat in favor of Republican and avid Trump-ally, Monica De La Cruz, who also became the first Hispanic woman elected to represent the district.
