Show me your friends
and I will show you who you are


Mayra Flores (TX-34)
Republicans are looking to flip this congressional district that runs along the southern border and the Gulf of Mexico. The district is 89% Hispanic, yet Mayra Flores welcomed an endorsement from Elise Stefanik, who has echoed the same racist conspiracy theories as the racist mass murderer who attacked El Paso in 2019 and Buffalo in May. Flores would be a rubber stamp for the Republican agenda and their failed chaos and cruelty approach to the border. She offers no real solutions to address the concerns at the border while her friends embrace dangerous conspiracy theories, jeopardizing all our safety.
Flores accepted thousands of dollars from her friends Brian Babin, Kevin McCarthy and $10,000 from Elise Stefanik’s superPAC. Learn more about these friends below.

Elise Stefanik (NY-21)
Currently, the third-ranking House Republican, Elise Stefanik, won her leadership position because she went along with the election lies that the election was stolen from Trump and refused to condemn the violent insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. Stefanik has also used her campaign to promote the white supremacist conspiracy theory that immigrants are trying to replace white people and overthrow our democracy. She has echoed the deadly lie about an “invasion” of non-white migrants at the border. Even after the racist mass murderer who attacked customers at a Buffalo grocery store echoed those very same lies, Stefanik doubled down on the dangerous language. Stefanik's lies about the election and an invasion are dangerous and distract from the fact that she wants to deny citizenship, block all refugees, and waste billions on a wall preferring to fear-monger about immigrants for her own selfish politics rather than work towards real solutions.
Brian Babin (TX-36)
This Texas Congressman from a district that runs from the west of Houston to the border of Louisiana is a vocal promoter of the white nationalist conspiracy theory that there is a plot afoot to replace white people with non-white immigrants. Last September, Brain Babin went on television to falsely claim democrats' had a “grand strategy” where they wanted “to replace the American electorate with third-world immigrants that are coming in illegally, many of them COVID positive.” Babin has since persistently amplified the racist language about a “great replacement” and migrant “invasion.” These are the same racist lies that inspired the mass murderers who attacked El Paso in 2019 and Buffalo in May.
Kevin McCarthy (CA-23)
Currently, the House Minority Leader, Kevin McCarthy, hopes to be the Speaker of the House — the top position in the congressional chamber. McCarthy has said he will block any attempt to provide pathways to citizenship for Dreamers or farmworkers. He has also promised to end the investigation into the violent insurrection at the US Capitol on January 6, 2021. McCarthy has also promised to empower his Republican friends who publicly attended white nationalist events and threatened political violence. McCarthy is more worried about pleasing Donald Trump and his extremist friends than addressing working families' challenges, like lowering healthcare costs or raising the minimum wage.
Michael McCaul (TX-10)
Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX) is the former Chair of the House Homeland Security Committee. A longtime impediment to immigration reform, McCaul has recently embraced the dangerous invasion rhetoric on national tv. During a Fox News Sunday in April, McCaul stated, “Putin invaded Ukraine … We have an invasion in my home state right on the border, every day.” As a Texan, McCaul show know about the deadly consequences of that ‘invasion’ language. In 2019, a gunman killed 23 people at a Walmart in El Paso after posting an anti-immigrant manifesto, which stated the attack was a response to ‘the Hispanic invasion of Texas.’”
