Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D) and former Rep. Mayra Flores (R) faced each other in a debate as they vie to win the seat in Texas' 34th Congressional District. As the tense engagement progressed, immigration came into the spotlight, with Flores saying that she would not be opposed to requiring South Texans to carry passports to prove their citizenship.
The one-hour debate was hosted by CBS4 and NBC23 less than three weeks until Election Day. The race for the District, located in the Rio Grande Valley, is considered one of the only competitive congressional House races in Texas and a top priority for both Democrats and Republicans.
