TX-23: As GOP Rivals Enter Recount, Gina Ortiz Jones Launches New TV Spots in San Antonio
With her potential Republican rivals mired in a recount, District 23 Democratic congressional candidate Gina Ortiz Jones kicked off her first TV spots of the cycle.
The new ads feature Jones, surrounded by family photos, speaking about her Air Force service, her San Antonio ties and being raised by a single immigrant mother. They're part of a "significant six-figure ad buy," according to her campaign.
Jones is running to represent a battleground district that includes part of the Alamo City along with a long swath of the U.S.-Mexico border. This is her second try for the seat after losing to GOP incumbent Will Hurd in 2018 by fewer than 1,000 votes.
While Republicans had hoped to run a strong race to replace the retiring Hurd, a close and contentious primary hasn't worked in their favor.
