From the New York Times, I'm a stead herding. This is the Daily.

Today, for decades, Republicans have sought to make gains with a critical voting block,

Latinos. Last month, when Myre Flores was elected to Congress from Texas, she finally

showed them a way how. I spoke to my colleague, Ginny Medina, about

what her campaign tells us about the future of the Latino vote.

It's Friday, July 29th.

Ginny, tell me about Myre Flores.

So Myre Flores is a Republican who won an special election in June.

And her win was really a big surprise because her district in the Rio Grande Valley had been

democratic for many, many years, almost the entire last century.

And she was able to flip this district in this special election in a way that nobody

really expected, including her supporters. But she did. And she was sworn in in July.

And is now the Republican's newest member of Congress.

Well, thanks for making the time. I understand it's her first as a Congresswoman, your first

interview as a Congresswoman.

And I went to her office in Washington for her first interview as an elected official.

Do you have a vision for the office physically?

Yes, we already do.

I really wanted to hear from her sort of how she viewed her win.

And I think a lot of that has to do with her own personal story, which she relied on a lot throughout the campaign.

Tell me just a little bit about where you were born, how you grew up, and how you got into politics.

Well, I was born in what was the Marlene Buses, my heat goal, honestly, I have the best childhood.
