Video: New GOP House Member Mayra Flores Steamrolls Democrats at Swearing-In Ceremony

The one immediate change from the special election last week in Texas’ 34th congressional district is that Mayra Flores, the newly elected GOP House member, was seated immediately. She will have to run again in a few short months, but since she’s filling the unexpired term of Democrat Filemon Vela Jr., she was immediately sent to DC and sworn in just days after her resounding victory.

Flores is an impressive figure and an embodiment of the outreach and inroads made during the Trump presidency with Hispanics in areas like Texas and Florida. Flores faced an uphill battle running for a seat that Democrats have held for 100 years. That’s a century of Democratic control in TX-34 and Flores burned it all down last week.

Here’s Flores yesterday speaking on the House floor at her swearing-in ceremony about her background and what brought her, a Mexican-born American citizen, to find a new life with the promise of the American dream:

If this is the new crop of Republicans winning House seats, Democrats have a serious problem moving forward.

Flores is young, invigorating, bilingual, wields an impressive story and connection to her Mexican roots, and is married to a U.S. Border Patrol agent with whom she has four children. She’s a force to be reckoned with and was also a full backer of President Donald Trump. This is the new breed of Republicans winning seats and primaries around the country.

In a similar vein, just last night in the last leg of the Alabama Republican Senate primary, Katie Britt won a runoff race against entrenched incumbent Senator Mo Brooks.

Part of the Senate “good ol’ boys” on the GOP side, Brooks seemed insurmountable, but voters are ready for new blood. Watch as Britt realizes her victory and thanks her supporters:

Britt will almost certainly win in November and having just turned 40, she could be sitting in this seat for decades giving Democrats heartburn.

Connecting with younger candidates who have children and families is what Washington needs. The stuffy club of the Senate with an average age in the 60s can seem rather out of touch with ordinary Americans facing basic challenges like getting their kids a quality education or operating a small business.

Both women are well accomplished, rather young when it comes to politics, and will be a welcome breath of fresh air to the establishment they toppled.

Inflation and basic household economics cut across all ethnic backgrounds, income levels, and family types. Democrats have screwed the pooch when it comes to ruining the economy and flaming runaway inflation.

The result will be a new generation of conservative leaders, like Britt and Flores, to push the GOP into a new era of younger, bold leadership. So many voters are tired of watching the “managed decline” happen from both parties or the erosion of morality continue unchallenged.

Democrats will not know what hit them in November if the GOP sweeps the House and takes the Senate with a new breed of youthful and conservative leaders unleashed in DC.
