They're thinking that he's already been elected and reelected in a state senate district wholly within the congressional district and thus is one of the more prominent and popular Republicans in the region. The fact that Senator Apodaca is Hispanic won't matter one way or another in that House race, but it would certainly aid the national GOP to have a Mexican-American in Congress.
