Eric Flores is a proud South Texan, former Texas Army National Guard Infantry Captain, former Assistant U.S. Attorney, husband, and father.

Eric grew up in the Rio Grande Valley. At an early age, he answered the call to serve. While attending the University of Texas at Austin, Eric enlisted in the Texas Army National Guard through the Simultaneous Membership Program. Upon graduating as a Distinguished Military Graduate, he received his commission as a U.S. Army Infantry officer. Eric commanded soldiers with distinction during Operation Guardian Support along our southern border.

After graduating from the Thurgood Marshall School of Law, Eric returned to the Rio Grande Valley with his wife, Victoria. Eric served as a City Attorney and municipal judge before joining the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Texas, McAllen Criminal Division.

While serving as an Assistant U.S. Attorney, Eric led landmark prosecutions of cartel-connected and human trafficking operations, dismantled the district’s largest transnational human-smuggling ring, and secured the conviction of one of Texas’s “Top Ten” most-wanted fugitives, accomplishments recognized with two U.S. Attorney’s Awards. Eric is currently a partner at O’Hanlon, Demerath & Castillo, a statewide firm, where he leads the litigation department defending municipalities and school districts across Texas.

Eric is a devoted husband and father of two. He is guided by his Christian faith and an unwavering commitment to his neighbors. Eric brings the same tenacity he displayed in uniform and the courtroom to his campaign for Congress: bolstering border security, championing law enforcement and veteran issues, revitalizing our local economy, and safeguarding seniors’ benefits.
