A congressional candidate has been accused by her ex-husband of abusing his daughter, reports The Hill.
Monica De La Cruz, a Republican running for the 15th Congressional District, is seen as a top choice for the South Texas seat among GOP leadership.
Johnny Hernandez, De La Cruz's husband, accused her in court filings for the couple's divorce of abusing his 14-year-old daughter, The Washington Post reported.
The couple have no biological children together, with Hernandez's daughter being from a previous relationship.
After incumbent 15th District Rep. Vicente Gonzalez announced he will seek reelection in a different congressional district, Democrats have struggled to find candidates to run for the seat he is vacating.
