“I’m not a politician—I’m a soldier, a prosecutor, and a father.” That is how Eric Flores described himself in an interview with VOZ. The attorney and former Army captain is the Republican nominee for Congress in Texas, a key battleground for the Republican Party seeking to continue expanding its influence in the southern part of the Lone Star State.
Of Mexican descent, Flores was raised in the Rio Grande Valley. He is an attorney and served his country as an Army infantry officer, rising to the rank of captain. He later served in the Texas Army National Guard, where he helped secure the southern border.
He also worked as a municipal prosecutor and municipal judge before joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas, Criminal Division, in McAllen.

Flores won the endorsement of President Donald Trump and House Speaker Mike Johnson, as well as the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).

Flores highlighted his experience outside Washington, D.C., emphasizing that he learned the meaning of public service while working as a judge and prosecutor in the district, delivering results for families and putting criminals behind bars. By contrast, he argued that González only shows up in the district during campaign season.

Asked about the Republican Party’s progress in South Texas, Flores argued that it comes down to values: “We are hardworking families. We are families of faith. We want our communities to be safe. We’re proud of our country—patriotism. That’s why Hispanic voters are moving more and more toward the Republican Party.”
[…]
On President Trump, Flores emphasized what he sees as the positive impact of the “Big Beautiful Bill,” also known as the Working Families Tax Cuts Act: “The bill has put more money into the pockets of people in South Texas. Voters are seeing that these are not promises—they’re results.”
[…]
Finally, Flores promised that, if elected, he would remain accessible to the people of the district and deliver results for South Texas. “I give them this promise: I’ll go to Congress with the same energy I had while wearing the uniform, with the same energy I had as a prosecutor on the border. Not making promises—delivering results for families.”
