A former leader of the GOP in Texas is excited that a predominantly Hispanic border town in a heavily Democrat-dominated area has elected a Republican mayor.
McAllen is a Rio Grande River border town to roughly 150,000 people, located in a county (Hidalgo) that Joe Biden carried by roughly 17 points in the 2020 presidential election. Four years earlier, the city – which is 85% Hispanic – went for Hillary Clinton over Donald Trump by 40 points.
But surprisingly, over the weekend McAllen voters elected a Republican mayor, Javier Villalobos, who defeated Democrat Veronica Vela Whitacre by about 200 votes in a runoff election. One News Now sought comment from Cathie Adams, a former chairman of the Republican Party of Texas.
