Eric D. Flores, 33, of Mission, officially launched his campaign for the District 34 seat of Congress on Monday, July 21. He is seeking to continue the Rio Grande Valley’s redward shift by unseating Democrat Vicente Gonzalez.
He has held numerous public positions in South Texas, serving as a city attorney and municipal judge in Alton before a stint as assistant U.S. attorney in the Southern District of Texas’ criminal division in McAllen from 2021 to the beginning of this year. There, he prosecuted transnational human smuggling along the border — an issue he hopes to raise in the election.
