The Texas Congressional District 34 race heated up during a lively debate hosted by NBC 23 and CBS 4. With the district’s voters eager to hear from their candidates, the debate between former Congresswoman Mayra Flores and incumbent Congressman Vicente Gonzalez delved into critical issues like the economy, border security, immigration, healthcare, and social services. The event, expertly moderated by CBS 4's Daisy Martinez and Brian Svendsen, allowed the candidates to present their respective visions for District 34 and draw sharp contrasts between their approaches.

The recent event at the McAllen Police Department Memorial was much more than a celebration of a remarkable physical accomplishment. It was a significant moment of unity, respect, and tribute to the sacrifices made by law enforcement officers who have fallen in the line of duty. The gathering honored San Antonio Detective Benjamin Garcia, who concluded his grueling 800-mile run from Amarillo to McAllen to raise awareness for C.O.P.S. (Concerns of Police Survivors), an organization dedicated to supporting the families of fallen law enforcement officers.
