In the upcoming election for Texas's 34th Congressional District, Republican nominee Mayra Flores, aged 38, is challenging the incumbent Vicente Gonzalez, a 57-year-old Democrat. Flores, a former U.S. Representative and respiratory care practitioner, graduated from South Texas College. Gonzalez, who is seeking re-election, is a U.S. Representative and lawyer, and he completed his undergraduate studies at Embry Riddle University.
The United States House of Representatives is currently composed of 212 Democrats and 220 Republicans, with 3 vacancies. In Texas's 34th District, the demographic composition includes a Hispanic majority at 88%. 9% of the population is Non-Hispanic White.
Historically, this district has leaned Democratic. In the 2020 Presidential election, Joe Biden won the district by a margin of 15 points. The 2022 House election was won by Gonzalez by a margin of 8 points. This district is expected to be competitive, and with the current composition of the House, the outcome of this race could potentially impact the balance of power between Democrats and Republicans.
