Maureen Galindo, a 2026 Democratic congressional candidate for Texas’ 35th District, is a housing activist and sex therapist. There are no reports of criminal indictments, fraud convictions, or formal legal findings of bribery against her.
Her career has been marked by significant public controversy regarding her rhetoric. In May 2026, she faced widespread condemnation from political leaders, including Democratic House leadership, for social media posts suggesting she would convert an ICE detention center into a prison for "American Zionists" and pedophiles, and for claiming that "Jews own Hollywood" and control a human trafficking network. Galindo denies being antisemitic, stating her remarks target Zionism rather than Jewish people. Additionally, she has been the subject of a Federal Election Commission complaint regarding the funding sources of a PAC supporting her campaign, which she denies coordinating with.
