Maureen Galindo, a sex therapist and housing advocate, surprised many by winning the primary for Texas’ 35th Congressional District on March 3, despite spending only a few thousand dollars on her campaign. However, her use of antisemitic tropes, particularly in her criticism of Israel, has drawn significant backlash from both parties. As the runoff election approaches, it has become a crucial test for national Democrats, who fear that Galindo's nomination could harm their chances in a district that was recently redrawn to favor Republicans. Galindo's campaign, which has received nearly $1 million in backing from the mysterious super PAC Lead Left, has raised concerns among Democrats about her potential to win. Her comments, including a proposal to imprison Zionists, have led to the withdrawal of support from previous allies. Johnny Garcia, her opponent, has garnered support from various national Democratic groups and argues that voters may reconsider their choices now that they are more aware of Galindo's controversial statements. The outcome of the runoff will significantly impact the party's strategy in this crucial district.
