Ah, Brandon. Implied. Inferred. Misleading. Three words you probably should’ve learned before trying to lecture anyone. An F in English. meidasnews.com/news/texas-go…

Holy hell. 1. I never said it was your campaign, I said it was a fundraising email for you. I was objectively correct. 2. I never said I don’t want to improve education. You have once again completely made that up. 3. I am once again in awe your new DNC handlers haven’t locked you out of your social media yet. Unless they already gave up 😂

Another one of my policies: 📍Your zip code shouldn’t determine whether your child has quality education. 📚Well funded public schools across our district 🏠Keeping rural schools open 👩‍🏫🧑‍🏫 Recruiting teachers from our community & better pay
I’d tell you to go read the definitions of a campaign vs a PAC, but given you’ve publicly said you don’t believe in improving education & you’ve botched your own financial disclosures, I think it’s a lost cause. This is why we need to improve public education, everyone. 📚

Unlike you, I don’t lie. And I bring receipts. Real fundraising email sent today from your financial backers at the pro-abortion PAC Emily’s List, who you have received a max donation from. The one you brag about on your own website.

My campaign didn’t send this out and that’s untrue. We’re only running against one shitty man.
This is a real screenshot of a fundraising email for Katy Stout. The open man-hating misandry from her isn’t surprising, but I didn’t expect them to be so cavalier about it.

1. Repeal Trump's $1T tax handout to corporate billionaires. The same ones raising prices on you. 2. Fight anyone blocking it—Dems, Republicans, CEOs, or Trump. 3. Use the money to fund rural communities. Lower prices. I've faced pedophiles in court. CEOs? Politicians? Easy.

How would you do this? How would anything you say be brought into effect? Or will you just say shit and shit on Brandon and not ever come up with a clear plan

It was an honor to have @RubenGallego with us in TX-23 today. Sen. Gallego and I agree: Texans are paying too much for gas & groceries. Prices are too damn high. Trump says he “doesn’t give a damn” about high gas prices. We do. And we're fighting to bring prices down.
This is exactly why I’m campaigning with @GinaHinojosaTX and @katy4congress in Texas today. Trump and his allies are looking out for themselves. November 3, we need to elect leaders who give a damn about you. nitter.cf/Acyn/status/2114153893…

TRUMP on HIGH GAS PRICES: We’re making money like we’ve never made before. They’ll say: President Trump is bragging about all the money they're making while people are suffering at the pump. I don’t give a damn. We’re making a freaking fortune.

You mock teachers, insult their work, want to defund education, and openly oppose improving schools. Now Texas teachers are calling out your bullshit. I taught children. You shoot guns for clicks. You’re not fit to lead a classroom, much less Congress.

Oh and another policy point: Members of Congress shouldn’t profit from public service. Ban congressional stock trading. Stop corporations from buying politicians. Brandon’s campaign is funded mostly from outside Texas. That’s why @StopBigMoney endorsed me.

So I’m in debt…to me. At least at some point you tried teaching them math instead of just inviting them to drag shows.

Yes, Brandon, I taught kindergarten. So here’s lesson one: when you borrow money, you owe money. That’s called debt. Your campaign has $670,000 of it. My kindergartners could do this math. Your FEC report says $319K in the bank and $670K in loans. That’s $351K in the red.
Replying to @katy4congress
That’s all money loaned to the campaign by me, genius. I put my own money into my own race, because I actually believe in what I’m doing. Watching you discover how campaign finance works publicly is embarrassing.

My grandparents were farmworkers. Dolores Huerta fought for families like mine—for fair wages, safe working conditions, and the right to organize. She taught generations that workers deserve dignity. Her fight is our fight. Rest in power, Dolores. Sí, se puede. ❤️

My mistake, Brandon. Your campaign is actually doing worse than that. Honest mistake. Unlike your botched financial disclosures. Were you hiding the fact that 62% of your donors are out-of-state interests? Maybe ask them to pay off your debt. They already own you.
Once again, I know momentum is a foreign concept when your campaign is $115,000 in the red. And while I have you, I’m once again asking you to apologize to the veterans you mocked, the women you've demeaned, and the working families you've dismissed.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Herrera's campaign reports $319K cash on hand per FEC data, with debts mostly candidate loans. It raised $1.26M in Q3 2026 alone. fec.gov/data/candidate… brandonherreraforcongress.com/news/press-rel…
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
FEC data shows both TX-23 candidates have significant out-of-state itemized contributions (Herrera ~67%, Stout ~49%), with Herrera's funds also including $520k+ in candidate loans; all details are public on FEC filings rather than hidden. midtermmonday.com/house/TX-23 fec.gov/data/candidate… fec.gov/data/candidate…

Local law enforcement knows a threat to our kids when they see one. That's why they're calling Brandon Herrera dangerous. From Bexar to El Paso, I've worked with law enforcement to protect kids in classrooms, courtrooms, and homes. That's why they back me. Watch our new ad.

Once again, I am calling your ability to read into question. They said you’re losing by slightly less, and you’re telling your 3 fans you’re winning.

“If it makes everyone in the room feel better, I often think about putting a gun in my mouth. So, I’m basically an honorary veteran.” -Brandon Herrera, mocking Veterans sacurrent.com/news/candidate…
Any “politician” can say they stand by our troops. It’s a different thing entirely to stand by them in person overseas 🇺🇸
