EL PASO, Texas (KFOX14/CBS4) — Republican congressional candidate Brandon Herrera is making two campaign stops in the El Paso area ahead of the November election as he runs for Texas’ 23rd Congressional District.
Herrera is scheduled to hold an event Tuesday, Oct. 27, at the Texas 20 Event Center on Alameda Avenue in Clint.
He is also set to join Texas Land Commissioner Dawn Buckingham for a meet-and-greet Wednesday, Oct. 28, at The Shack Wings and Brew on Woodrow Bean Transmountain in Northeast El Paso.
Both events are expected to give attendees an opportunity to meet Herrera ahead of the November election.
The race is for the congressional seat left vacant by former Republican U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, who resigned earlier this year after admitting to an affair with a former staffer.
District 23 is the largest congressional district in Texas by geographic area, stretching from the San Antonio area to parts of far East El Paso.
Three candidates are competing for the seat: Herrera, Democrat Katy Padilla Stout and independent candidate Ben Mendoza.
