George Soros’s Texas funding reveals Democratic fear of defeat: Mayra Flores
Exclusive: Soros’s Cash Infusion in Texas Sparks Fear Among Democrats
Republican Candidate Mayra Flores Warns of Democratic Anxiety Over GOP Momentum
The move by left-wing billionaire George Soros to pour major cash into turning Texas blue in 2024 shows Democrats are afraid of the GOP’s momentum in the state, Republican candidate and ex-Rep. Mayra Flores told the Washington Examiner in an interview.
Soros personally has transferred at least $100,000 since August 2023 to the Democratic Party Executive Committee in Cameron County, which is part of the Lone Star State’s 34th Congressional District, where Flores is seeking to unseat Rep. Vicente Gonzalez (D-TX). The Democratic megadonor also made donations to Hidalgo and Dallas counties and has wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to the liberal Texas Majority PAC, according to financial disclosures.
Flores, who lost to Gonzalez in 2022 after winning a special election earlier that year, said she was surprised to see Soros’s sizable contributions in Texas. For years, Democrats have sought to turn Texas blue — see Beto O’Rourke’s failed campaigns in 2018 for senate and governor in 2022 — though the Left has been unable to change the minds of conservative voters on key topics such as abortion and immigration.
“They see the work we’re putting in,” Flores said. “George Soros and his far-left dark money allies are pouring all this money into Texas 34 to prevent us from flipping seats. It works to our advantage because we’re going to be able to encourage more people, not just in Texas 34, but throughout the country, to join the fight, to donate to our campaign.”
To Flores, who moved with her family to the United States from Mexico when she was 6, President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy and border crisis uniquely motivates Texas voters in 2024. Some Democratic members of Congress are joining Republicans in calling on the president to thwart illegal immigration, with Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) notably asserting last month: “Immigration is something near and dear to me, and I think we do have to effectively address it as well.”
Meanwhile, the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee released a report Thursday putting forth that the Biden administration’s “actions in dismantling interior immigration enforcement, which enables illegal aliens to stay in the United States indefinitely.”
“Over the past six months, we’ve been traveling and sharing our message of faith and the American dream with voters, who are seeing the disaster that Joe Biden created in South Texas,” Flores said. “I was in Brownsville, and we brought in over 100 women who are Spanish-speaking who voted for Biden in 2020. And I went to speak with them about my campaign.”
Toward the end of that meeting, Flores said the women all told her they would not be voting for Biden in 2024. She underscored how the attendees are living paycheck-to-paycheck and upset, searching for better economic opportunities and safer communities.
In Texas, the immigrant crisis hits home for voters, who view border security as a top concern heading into 2024, according to recent polls. Soros’s helping hand in 2024 to Democrats in the Lone Star State comes after nonprofit groups affiliated with the billionaire have dished out millions of dollars in recent years to entities pushing for open borders and, in some cases, have been accused of violating federal law while doing so.
“The Biden administration is completely underwater on the issue of the border crisis,” Robert Henneke, executive director and general counsel for the Texas Public Policy Foundation, told the Washington Examiner.
In the 2022 election, Flores was trounced by more than 11,400 votes. It was a major disappointment to the Republican Party, whose consultants in Washington and across the country communicated that there would be a “red wave,” but it never materialized. That year, Gonzalez highlighted how the Flores campaign spent more than $7 million against him and still could not capture the South Texas district.

“I’m not upset at the voters,” Flores told the Washington Examiner. “I’m upset at the Biden administration. (Former President Barack) Obama actually handled the border better than Biden. He’s betrayed the American people.”
Flores added, “Because, at the end of the day, we’re the backbone of our country.”
How does Republican candidate Mayra Flores believe that George Soros’s contributions to Democratic campaigns in Texas will affect the Republican momentum in the state
Democratic candidates in the past election cycle.”
As the race for the 34th Congressional District in Texas heats up, the infusion of cash from left-wing billionaire George Soros into the Democratic Party has sparked fear among Democrats themselves. Mayra Flores, the Republican candidate and former Representative, has warned of the anxiety felt by Democrats over the growing Republican momentum in the state.
Since August 2023, George Soros has personally transferred at least $100,000 to the Democratic Party Executive Committee in Cameron County, which falls within the 34th Congressional District. Soros has also made donations to Hidalgo and Dallas counties, and has wired hundreds of thousands of dollars to the liberal Texas Majority PAC, according to financial disclosures. These sizable contributions from Soros to Democratic campaigns in Texas have caught the attention of Mayra Flores.
Flores, who previously lost to incumbent Representative Vicente Gonzalez in 2022, expressed surprise at the influx of funds from Soros. While Democrats have long sought to turn Texas blue, their efforts have been largely unsuccessful, as conservative voters in the state remain steadfast in their views on key issues such as abortion and immigration. Flores believes that Soros’s contributions will actually work to the advantage of Republicans by motivating more people to join the fight and donate to their campaigns.
According to Flores, Texas voters in 2024 are uniquely motivated by President Joe Biden’s handling of the economy and the border crisis. Even some Democratic members of Congress have joined Republicans in calling on the president to take stronger actions to address illegal immigration. The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee recently released a report criticizing the Biden administration’s approach to interior immigration enforcement, alleging that it enables illegal aliens to stay in the United States indefinitely.
Flores sees this as an opportunity for Republicans to connect with voters who are witnessing the effects of Biden’s policies firsthand. She believes that her message of faith and the American dream resonates with the people in South Texas who have been affected by the border crisis.
As the race for the 34th Congressional District continues, Soros’s cash infusion into Texas has ignited a sense of fear among Democrats. However, Mayra Flores remains confident that this will only serve to strengthen the Republican momentum in the state. With the support of grassroots donors and the growing discontent with the current administration, Flores believes that the Republican Party can make significant gains in the upcoming election cycle.
