Original Note:
This claim is untrue. TX34 didn’t exist until 2012. Moreover, in 2010, Republican Blake Farenthold won TX27 — the predecessor to today’s TX34 — by .72%. Mayra Flores’s victory is the 2nd time in 13 years that 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
