Eric Flores
Background
- Holds no public office. His campaign says he served as a city attorney and municipal judge, then as an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of Texas's McAllen criminal division, and is now a partner at the law firm O'Hanlon, Demerath & Castillo.
- His campaign says he enlisted in the Texas Army National Guard while at the University of Texas at Austin, was commissioned as an infantry officer, and commanded soldiers on the southern border during Operation Guardian Support.
- He filed his statement of candidacy for the 34th district on July 16, 2025, and is the Republican nominee on the certified November ballot.
What they say they want to do
- A lower cost of living, by opposing federal spending that fuels inflation, cutting red tape and supporting affordable housing.
- Shorter VA wait times, wider access to care in the district, and fully funded veterans' benefits and disability claims.
- No cuts to seniors' earned benefits, and benefits that keep pace with the true cost of living.
- Federal investment in water infrastructure and long-term regional water planning.
- Federal money for roads, bridges and the ports of Corpus Christi and Brownsville, and broadband in rural areas.
What the official record shows
He has never held elected office, so there is no official record of votes or bills to list. The posts his campaign describes were appointed ones; the smuggling-ring card shows one case he prosecuted. A State Bar profile he appears to have supplied says he served as municipal judge for the City of Alton; it is not an official record of the post.

The rows are lines 11B, 11C and 12 of his committee's 2025-2026 filings through June 30, 2026, grouped by the FEC's recorded type of the contributing committee, memo entries set aside. Each line reconciles to the committee's own summary: party committees $5,000.00, other committees $312,302.20, and transfers from joint fundraising committees $489,753.88. The transfer row is $14,752.20 larger than line 12 because it also holds what joint fundraising committees gave on line 11C. Donations individuals made through WinRed are individual contributions and are not in the table. Also not in the table: $576,500 he has lent his campaign from his own funds, all of it outstanding at June 30, 2026. The rows sum to 807,056.08 dollars.
