Henry Cuellar, who was convicted in March on federal bribery allegations. The timing of her illness has astounded fans, who have gathered online to offer prayers and encouragement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFormer and future Congresswoman Mayra Flores, a devoted conservative fighting corruption in Texas\u2019s 28th District, has been hospitalized,\u201d her campaign posted in an official statement. \u201cDuring this challenging time, we humbly ask for your prayers and support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement continued, \u201cMayra\u2019s passion for building a brighter future for our children, grandchildren, and generations to come is at the heart of everything she does. Guided by faith and determination, she remains steadfast in her mission during this critical moment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEarlier today, Mayra Flores faced a sudden health scare, but thanks to the incredible care she received and the support of her loved ones, she is now fully recovering and feeling stronger than ever. While she is taking time to recover, her passion for serving TX-28 has not slowed down one bit. Mayra will be back on the campaign trail soon\u2014stronger than ever and ready to fight for the people of South Texas,\u201d the campaign said in an update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>No additional details about her condition or the reason for her hospitalization are available at this time. Earlier today, Flores sent a passionate statement announcing her candidacy, emphasizing her conservative views and profound commitment to America\u2019s basic principles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI am deeply honored to announce my candidacy for Congress\u2014a chance to serve the people and uphold the values that make our nation great,\u201d Flores posted. \u201cThis campaign is driven by a love for our country and a commitment to fight for justice, opportunity, and unity for all.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">First Mexico-born rep targets indictment-plagued Democrat in House GOP comeback bid <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/jz2roMdaYY\">https:\/\/t.co\/jz2roMdaYY<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Fox News (@FoxNews) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FoxNews\/status\/1912102375629738350?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 15, 2025<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>She also asked fans to contribute to her campaign, stating that \u201cyour contribution, no matter the size, is a powerful investment in the future of our community and our nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flores made history by briefly flipping Texas\u2019 34th District in a special election in 2022, only to lose the general election months later. Her new campaign focuses on Cuellar, a long-serving Democrat who is now facing legal consequences after being implicated in a massive bribery conspiracy involving Azerbaijani interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnfortunately, we don\u2019t have that many voices in the Spanish-speaking community \u2014 in Telemundo, in television \u2014 talking to the Spanish-speaking community about the amazing work President Trump is doing, and his administration,\u201d Flores told&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/first-mexico-born-rep-targets-indictment-plagued-democrat-house-gop-comeback-bid?intcmp=tw_fnc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Fox News<\/a>&nbsp;prior to her running announcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Flores added, \u201cAnd that\u2019s something that I feel I\u2019m obligated to do, because there\u2019s a lot of misinformation being spread from the left, and they\u2019re trying to instill fear and hate in the Hispanic community.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s not about what Mayra Flores wants. It\u2019s what this country needs me to do. And this country needs me to run in Texas 28 and win this seat,\u201d she added. \u201cThis is a seat that can be flipped in 2026. Right now we need a much bigger majority. It makes it very difficult for President Trump to get anything across with such a small majority.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, I don\u2019t care what party he is, whether you\u2019re a Republican or you\u2019re a Democrat,\u201d she continued. \u201cBeing a member, it\u2019s \u2026 a position where you can help so many people, and you are able to represent an entire district. And yet he threw it all away. And no amount of money is worth you doing that to your country.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"684f6003e199ca137b09540a661b4c2d\" data-index=\"2\" style=\"float: none; margin:0px 0 0px 0; text-align:center;\">\n<!-- Composite Start -->\r\n<div id=\"M940464ScriptRootC1583286\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script src=\"https:\/\/jsc.adskeeper.com\/k\/o\/kohajone.press.1583286.js\" async>\r\n<\/script>\r\n<!-- Composite End -->\r\n\n<\/div>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Republican Mayra Flores was hospitalized just hours after announcing her campaign to recover her former congressional seat, according to her team, who asked for prayers and support&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11847,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=11846"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11846\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11849,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11846\/revisions\/11849"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/11847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=11846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=11846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kohajone.press\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=11846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
