Texas Democrats Sylvia Garcia, Veronica Escobar and others have sought an audience with Democratic National Committee leadership to discuss the Latino revolt, reported the Daily Caller.

"The DNC, the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee], and all the Democratic national groups really need to take a hard look at what happened," Garcia said of the Flores win.

"I realize this is a special, but it's still given the Republicans a narrative to say: 'We flipped a seat.' And we should have done better."

Rep. Vicente Gonzalez, who is set to face Flores in November, took DCCC chair Sean Patrick Maloney aside and implored him to change the party's outreach strategy before the Texas trends go national.

"They have just forgotten about the brown people on the border. And that's basically what it is," Gonzalez lamented.

"I'm not going to try to sugarcoat it anymore. They are taking Latinos in South Texas for granted."

The district that Flores carried had been held by Democrats for nearly a century, and the defeat has left many Democrats blindsided. Rep. Chuy García, D-Ill, who represents a majority-Hispanic district in Chicago, has blamed the loss on Democrat divestment in Latino constituencies.
