Some prominent Texas Democrats are up in arms at what they see as a withdrawal of serious national investment in a South Texas congressional district that is the linchpin of Republicans’ drive to take over the region.
Michelle Vallejo, Democratic nominee for the 15th Congressional District, speaks at the HERStory meet-and-greet on Aug. 19 in McAllen.
The state party followed up with a memo saying how it was “doubling down” on South Texas, including by sending “staff across departments to the Rio Grande Valley to assist campaigns on the ground with organizing digital, communications, fundraising, and other efforts.” After the publication of this story, the DCCC provided a statement from Hinojosa that said he appreciated the DCCC"for their early, sustained commitment to keeping South Texas blue."
Since Labor Day, Republican outside groups have flooded the district with TV ads assailing Vallejo as too liberal for South Texas. Third-party Democratic outfits have not mounted any serious counteroffensive on the air. Vallejo’s campaign has aired TV spots, including one criticizing De La Cruz as too extreme on abortion, but they have been little match for the GOP blitz.
“Michelle has been counted out and outspent at every step of this campaign, and yet she just keeps winning,” Vallejo campaign spokesperson Alejandro Garcia said in a statement. “Her community has rallied around her campaign and it’s that grassroots energy that’s going to carry us to victory in November.”, was among those who hardly concealed their outrage at the Axios report Sunday. Davis is the 2014 gubernatorial nominee who ran for Congress in 2020 with strong DCCC backing.
