Fmr Rep. Mayra Flores Hospitalized Hours After Announcing ’26 Run

Former Rep. Mayra Flores, R-Texas, on Tuesday launched a bid to unseat Rep. Henry Cuellar, D-Texas, in 2026, followed by her campaign announcing just hours later on social media that she had been hospitalized with no further details.

Flores was the first Mexican-born congresswoman in the U.S. House after winning a 2022 special election in another Texas border district. She served about six months in Congress but lost her bid for a full term.

Her campaign did not immediately respond to an email seeking comment about why she was hospitalized.
