Johnson Backs Herrera in Key Texas Race | Salt Lake City News
Description
House Speaker Mike Johnson is rallying behind GOP candidate Brandon Herrera in Texas’s 23rd District, calling it a make-or-break battleground for GOP control of the House and slamming Democratic opponent Katy Padilla Stout as a “radical.” Herrera, fresh off a tough primary, is pushing for party unity, while Johnson underscores Texas’s strategic importance and redefines border security as a mix of physical barriers and tech like drones. The campaign also highlights local priorities like protecting Big Bend’s natural beauty and advancing veterans’ healthcare through the Richard Star Act, as Johnson vows ongoing reforms and staffing changes to support veterans. With the incumbent pulling out of the runoff, Herrera is now the GOP nominee in a race shaping the nation’s political future.
