Original Note:
This claim is untrue. In 2010, Republican Blake Farenthold won TX27, the predecessor to today’s TX34, by .72%. Accordingly, if Mayra Flores wins the 6/14 special election, it would be the 2nd time this century the GOP flipped a majority-Hispanic seat in the Rio Grande Valley. https://www.npr.org/sections/itsallpolitics/2010/11/23/131537559/another-improbable-gop-victory-rep-solomon-ortiz-d-concedes-in-texas-27
