Pete Flores becomes the new Senator-elect for Senate District
19
The special election for Senate District 19 took place on
Sept. 18 and the new Senator who will represent the people of this district
is retired game warden, Pete Flores. This was a historical election in that
Senator-elect Flores won a seat held by Democrats for the last 139 years. His
Democratic opponent was former state and U.S. Rep. Pete Gallego. In addition,
Senator-elect Flores will become the first Hispanic Republican Senator in the
Texas Senate. I stopped by the campaign watch party to congratulate Mr.
Flores on behalf of BCMS. For local discussion on this and other legislative advocacy
topics, consider joining the BCMS Legislative and Socioeconomics Committee by
contacting Mary Nava, chief government affairs officer at mary.nava@bcms.org. |
