Trio of conservatives, all with Latin American roots, are confident of making sizable gains in the midterm elections
A trio of Republican candidates for Congress, all with Latin American roots, hope to lead the party to its largest gains among Hispanic voters in years in Tuesday’s midterm elections.
The three conservatives – Mayra Flores, Monica De La Cruz and Cassy Garcia – share common ideals: strong faith in God, support for strict immigration laws and abortion bans.
It has led Republicans to refer to them as the “Triple Threat”, a conservative counter to the all-female group of progressive Democratic congressmen nicknamed “The Squad”.
The Hispanic conservatives hope to make history by flipping three traditionally blue congressional districts on the US-Mexican border.
