Former Rep. Mayra Flores launches PAC to court Hispanic voters in swing border races
Mayra Flores has created the American Dream PAC to mobilize Hispanic-American voters in key House and Senate contests across Texas and Arizona, aiming to bolster Republican prospects.
Former Texas Representative Mayra Flores has founded the American Dream PAC to court Hispanic-American voters in pivotal House and Senate races across border states. Emphasizing faith, family and opposition to socialism, the group plans to use television, radio, direct-mail and in-person events to replicate the surge of Hispanic support that Donald Trump achieved in 2024. Flores argues that the left is spreading misinformation in Hispanic-majority communities and that sustained outreach is essential for Republicans to retain congressional control.
The PAC’s initial focus includes Texas districts 34, 15 and 28, the Texas Senate contest between Attorney General Ken Paxton and Democrat James Talarico, and Arizona’s 6th Congressional District, where Republican Juan Ciscomani’s narrow 2022 win is now challenged by Democrat JoAnna Mendoza. Polls indicate tight races, and Flores believes increased engagement can prevent Democratic gains and cement a Hispanic-Conservative alliance forged during the Trump era.
Why it matters
Hispanic voter turnout could tip closely contested congressional and Senate races, influencing control of Congress.
