Prado attributed the outstanding election result partly to backlash against Trump's mass deportation drive in Texas.

Prado emphasized the campaign's rejection of outside operatives dictating strategy to the district.

“came to their senses and realized the consequences of their previous vote. Tuesday night was a correction to what happens when one party is allowed to run rampant and do whatever they want without fear of consequences.”

Prado said many 2024 Trump voters in the district reconsidered their previous vote after seeing the consequences.

“These are people who have never had a seat at the table who can now become a new voice in how we do things,”

Prado described the young campaign staff as people who now have a chance to shape a new political voice.

“These are people whose parents couldn’t vote, but they could, and so when my dad got deported, or my mom got deported, that became a crystallizing moment.”
