CHC BOLD PAC Launches Ads On Mayra Flores' Lies and Harmful Policies That Will Hurt Latino Families in South Texas

As Part of the “Our Lucha War Room” initiative, CHC BOLD PAC Launched a $600,000 Bilingual Ad Campaign to Expose Flores’ Dangerous Agenda


Washington, D.C. - “Our Lucha War Room” is exposing MAGA extremists like Mayra Flores, who peddle dangerous lies and deceit, shamelessly misleading our communities for their own gain. As part of a $600,000 ad buy, BOLD PAC has launched English and Spanish ads exposing Mayra Flores’ dangerous agenda and what it means for Latino families in South Texas. The ads are running on broadcast television (English and Spanish) and on YouTube. This initiative will continue to hold MAGA liars accountable for their extremist, anti-Latino agenda that seeks to undermine and devastate our communities. 


Mayra Flores claims to represent South Texas, but her actions tell a very different story. Time and time again, she has proven that she is out of touch with the needs and priorities of our communities. From attacking women’s rights to undermining economic security, her dangerous policies are a direct threat to Latino families.


“The Our Lucha War Room is the first war room that has ever had Latinos in mind from the beginning and at its core. Our goal is to create rapid-response content that conveys accurate information to the Latino community to counter the lies that are targeted toward them. Latino families deserve to know the truth about extremist Republicans who will say anything to get their vote. Mayra Flores has made her priorities clear—siding with Donald Trump instead of standing up for the hardworking Latino families she claims to represent,” said CHC BOLD PAC Executive Director Victoria McGroary. “BOLD PAC will continue fighting to make sure that the voices of South Texas are heard and not drowned out by the lies and divisiveness of MAGA Mentirosa Mayra Flores.”


THE AD “THREAT” CAN BE VIEWED IN ENGLISH AND SPANISH.


“Threat” Ad Script 


MAGA Mayra Flores is a threat to South Texas families– 

And our future. 

Flores voted against lowering drug costs, like thirty five dollar insulin. 

Making life more expensive. 

And Flores supports a total ban on abortion. 

Even if the mother’s life is in danger. 

Mayra Flores.

Too dangerous for South Texas Families. 


MAGA Mayra Flores’ Extremist Agenda Will Hurt South Texas Families

Let’s set the record straight—here’s what Mayra Flores doesn’t want you to know about her harmful policies:


  • Flores wants to ban abortion: She is pushing an agenda that would strip women of their right to make their own health care decisions, putting lives at risk and jeopardizing the well-being of Latino women and families across South Texas. She called the reversal of Roe v. Wade a “dream come true” and believes abortion is a crime. 



  • Flores voted against lowering the cost of insulin for seniors: Our abuelos and abuelas deserve affordable care. But Mayra Flores doesn’t seem to care. She voted against lowering the cost of life-saving insulin for our seniors, even though countless Latinos rely on it.


  • Flores voted against the CHIPS Act: The CHIPS Act is already bringing good-paying manufacturing jobs to Texas and strengthening our national security by reducing dependence on foreign nations like China. But Mayra Flores voted against it—choosing politics over the future of Texas families.


Latinos rejected Mayra’s extremism once, and we’ll do it again. Mayra Flores isn’t just a liar—after this cycle, she’ll be a two-time loser.

CHC BOLD PAC lanza anuncios sobre las mentiras y políticas dañinas de Mayra Flores que lastimaran a las familias latinas del sur de Texas
Como parte de la iniciativa “Our Lucha War Room”, CHC BOLD PAC lanzó una compra de anuncios bilingüe de $600,000 para exponer la agenda peligrosa de Flores.


Washington, D.C. - "Our Lucha War Room" está exponiendo a extremistas MAGA como Mayra Flores, quienes difunden mentiras peligrosas y engaños, manipulando descaradamente a nuestras comunidades para su propio beneficio. Como parte de una compra de anuncios de $600,000, BOLD PAC ha lanzado anuncios en inglés y español que exponen la peligrosa agenda de Mayra Flores y lo que significa para las familias latinas en el sur de Texas. Los anuncios se están transmitiendo en televisión (en inglés y español) y en YouTube. Esta iniciativa continuará manteniendo a los MAGA mentirosos responsables de su agenda extremista y anti-latina que busca dañar a nuestras comunidades.


Mayra Flores dice representar al sur de Texas, pero sus acciones cuentan una historia muy diferente. Una y otra vez, ha demostrado que está desconectada con las necesidades y prioridades de nuestras comunidades. Desde atacar los derechos de las mujeres hasta debilitar la seguridad económica, sus políticas peligrosas son una amenaza directa para las familias latinas.


“El Our Lucha War Room es el primer espacio de respuesta rápida que tiene a los latinos en mente desde el principio y en su núcleo. Nuestro objetivo es crear contenido de respuesta rápida que brinde información precisa a la comunidad latina para desmentir las mentiras dirigidas hacia ellos. Las familias latinas merecen conocer la verdad sobre los republicanos extremistas que dirán cualquier cosa para conseguir su voto. Mayra Flores ha dejado claras sus prioridades—apoyando a Donald Trump en lugar de defender a las familias latinas trabajadoras que dice representar,” dijo Victoria McGroary, Directora Ejecutiva de CHC BOLD PAC. “BOLD PAC seguirá luchando para asegurarse de que las voces del sur de Texas sean escuchadas y no sean silenciadas por las mentiras y divisiones de MAGA Mentirosa Mayra Flores.”


EL ANUNCIO "AMENAZA" SE PUEDE VER EN INGLÉS Y ESPAÑOL.


Guión del anuncio "Amenaza"



MAGA Mayra Flores es una amenaza para las familias del sur de Texas-

Y nuestro futuro.

Flores votó en contra de reducir el costo de las medicinas, como la insulina a treinta y cinco dólares. 

Haciendo la vida más cara.

Y Flores apoya la prohibición total del aborto. 

Aun cuando la vida de la madre está en peligro.

Mayra Flores 

Demasiado peligrosa para las familias del sur de Texas. 


La agenda extremista de MAGA Mayra Flores dañará a las familias del sur de Texas


Dejemos las cosas claras: esto es lo que Mayra Flores no quiere que sepas sobre sus políticas dañinas:


  • Flores quiere prohibir el aborto: Ella está promoviendo una agenda que quitaría a las mujeres su derecho a tomar sus propias decisiones de salud, poniendo vidas en riesgo y poniendo en peligro el bienestar de las mujeres y familias latinas en el sur de Texas. Ella llamó la anulación de Roe v. Wade un "sueño hecho realidad" y cree que el aborto es un crimen.


  • Flores votó en contra de reducir el costo de la insulina para las personas mayores: Nuestros abuelos y abuelas merecen atención médica de bajo costo. Pero a Mayra Flores no parece importarle. Votó en contra de reducir el costo de la insulina, un medicamento que salva vidas para las personas mayores, aunque innumerables latinos dependen de ella.


  • Flores votó en contra de la Ley CHIPS: La Ley CHIPS ya está trayendo trabajos de manufactura bien pagados a Texas y fortaleciendo nuestra seguridad nacional al reducir la dependencia de países extranjeros como China. Pero Mayra Flores votó en contra—prefiriendo la política sobre el futuro de las familias de Texas.


Los latinos rechazaron el extremismo de Mayra una vez, y lo haremos de nuevo. Mayra Flores no solo es una mentirosa—después de este ciclo, será una perdedora por segunda vez.

A Marine Corps veteran, single mother, and the daughter of farmworkers, Mendoza embodies the grit and resilience of working families across Arizona. In just 60 days, she raised over $810,000—an impressive display of grassroots strength and undeniable momentum. Mendoza is the candidate to flip this seat and defeat Juan Ciscomani. “JoAnna Mendoza is exactly the kind of leader Washington needs right now – tough, tested, and rooted in community,” said CHC BOLD PAC Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “She has served our country with honor, and now she’s answering the call to serve again. Juan Ciscomani has spent his time in Congress pushing a dangerous far-right agenda, siding with MAGA extremists, and putting party loyalty over the needs of Arizonans. JoAnna is a battle-tested Marine and a proven leader who knows what true service means. She has what it takes to flip this seat and fight for Arizona’s working families.” "I’m honored to have the support of BOLD PAC — a powerful voice for Latino representation and working families,” said JoAnna Mendoza . “As a proud Latina, Marine veteran, and native Arizonan, I know what it means to fight for opportunity and equity. In Congress, I'm looking forward to standing with BOLD to deliver for our communities and ensure every family gets a fair shot.” ABOUT JOANNA MENDOZA JoAnna Mendoza is a Marine veteran, dedicated public servant, and single mother who has spent her life fighting for her country and her community. Raised in a rural Arizona farming community, she learned the values of hard work and resilience from an early age. Her family often struggled to make ends meet, relying on safety-net programs, shaping her deep commitment to public service. At 17, JoAnna joined the Marines, where she served multiple deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. She became a Drill Instructor, training the next generation of service members. After 20 years of honorable service, she continued her public service as a congressional staffer, a school board member, and a veteran advocate. JoAnna will be a relentless advocate for working families, rural communities, veterans, education, health care, and Arizona’s natural environment.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: April 3, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com BOLD PAC Shatters Q1 Fundraising Record, Raises Over $3.2 Million in Push to Take Back the House and Senate Washington, D.C. - BOLD PAC, the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, announced today that it raised over $3.2 million in the first quarter of 2025, marking its strongest Q1 fundraising total ever in an off-year. This record-breaking momentum underscores what Senator Cory Booker and Democrats across the country are saying: the fight to take back the House and Senate is on–and we are fired up. The $3.2 million raised this quarter significantly outpaces BOLD PAC’s Q1 totals in previous off-years. This includes the $2.01 million raised in the first quarter of 2017 when a sea of Democratic energy led the party to flip 43 seats in the House during Donald Trump’s first term. The record-breaking haul underscores how energized and mobilized Democrats are early in the midterm cycle. “Donald Trump is back in the White House, and our communities are already paying the price. He’s damaging our economy, rolling back our rights, threatening our Social Security and Medicare, and doubling down on the same extremist playbook that hurts working families,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “But we’re not backing down. This historic fundraising total shows how fired up the Democratic base is to hold him accountable. BOLD PAC is channeling that energy into action to protect our communities and take back the House and Senate next year.” ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

May he rest in peace." ### CHC BOLD PAC , the campaign arm of the Hispanic Caucus, was founded in 2001 to increase Latino representation in Congress.

TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS

By Bold . • March 6, 2025
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: March 05, 2025 Contact: Karla Rodriguez Karla@chcboldpac.com TRUMP’S FIRST MONTH HAS ONLY MADE LIFE MORE EXPENSIVE FOR AMERICANS WASHINGTON, D.C. – As President Trump delivered his first speech to a Joint Session of Congress, one fact is clear: his first month in office has done nothing to bring down costs for working families — in fact, he’s hurting their pocketbooks. Instead of fighting to lower prices at the grocery store, reduce the cost of prescription drugs, or lower the costs of housing, Trump has spent his time: Ignoring the spike in egg prices, with the national average hitting $5 in his first month back. Eggs shouldn’t be a luxury. Pressuring Republicans to pass a budget resolution that would cut $2 billion in federal Medicaid funds from each congressional district, gutting health care for 15.9 million Americans . Rolling back an executive order from the Biden administration to lower prescription drug prices to $2. Admitting—twice —that lowering costs and making life more affordable is not his top priority . “Donald Trump promised to help working Americans, but his first month back in the White House has been a disaster for their wallets,” said Chairwoman Linda Sánchez . “He’s proving once again that he’s only looking out for himself while Latino families foot the bill. BOLD PAC remains committed to electing leaders who will put working families first. We won’t let Trump’s disastrous policies go unchecked.” CHC BOLD PAC CHC BOLD PAC is the campaign arm of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus (CHC) and is dedicated to increasing diversity in the House and Senate by helping more Latinos get elected.
