Having lost a Texas state Senate race in 2020, Pete Flores is taking another crack at a post in a newly drawn district, earning the endorsement of former President Donald Trump to boot.
Trump wrote Tuesday in a statement from his Save America PAC:
Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, another Trump backer, has already endorsed Flores' campaign to represent District 24 in the state Senate.
"Pete Flores made a difference in the Texas Senate," Patrick wrote in a statement in September. "He instantly earned the trust and admiration of his fellow members. A unique blend of common sense and hard work makes him highly effective. He's a dependable conservative and always ready for any tough assignment.
"Pete's a friend and will be a tremendous Senator for District 24. I need Pete Flores back in the Texas Senate to continue to advance our conservative agenda for Texas. He has my full and complete endorsement."
Trump issued a trio of endorsements Tuesday, including another Texas state Senate candidate Kevin Sparks against an establishment Republican incumbent and GOP gubernatorial candidate in a GOP primary against Massachusetts Gov. Charlie Baker.
This week, Trump hailed the efforts of Texas in seeking a forensic audit of the 2020 election results, which was helped put forward by Patrick.
