Filemon Vela runs for the exit

March 22, 2021

Another week, another Democrat runs for the exit ramp because they know they’re going to lose the House majority or face embarrassment on Election Day. 

Last week it was Ann Kirkpatrick. This week it’s Filemon Vela.

Both Democrats, who were on the NRCC’s initial offensive target list, represent districts along the U.S.– Mexico and know their reelection prospects are looking grim come November 2022.

Who’s next? 

NRCC Comment: “Filemon Vela knows Biden’s border crisis will cost him his seat and Democrats’ their House majority. Texans deserve a congressman who is going to stand up to Biden’s open border agenda, not defend it.” – NRCC Spokeswoman Torunn Sinclair
