Eric Flores Republican

US House, District 34

About this race: A US House seat on the 120th Congress map, covering all of Cameron, Kenedy, Kleberg and Willacy counties and most of Nueces County. The records on the race page are votes and cosponsorships in Congress, listed in date order, each with its own source.

Whose record this page shows. The paragraph above is about the race, not about this candidate in particular. Everything after this line on this page is Eric Flores’s own record and nothing else — including, where it says so, the finding that no record was located. No cannabis record is listed on this page for Eric Flores, so where the paragraph above points at records, it is pointed at the race page and not at this one. Every record the paragraph above describes is set out candidate by candidate on the US House, District 34 race page.

Which map this is. This seat is drawn on the 120th Congress map, the one on the 3 November ballot. Measured by area — not by population — 86% of it was inside district 34 on the 119th Congress map, which stands until the end of 2026; the rest came from district 27 (14%). So where a candidate below is badged as holding seat 34 today, that badge means the seat number on this ballot — not all of the ground the seat now covers. Your own district may have changed number without your address changing. Check your own address in the district finder.

What was checked for Eric Flores, and the limits on it

Checked on 2026-09-18: their Ballotpedia entry, their FEC filing, Texas Tribune coverage of the race in July 2025 and February 2026, launch coverage in KRGV, border and regional primary coverage, and a candidate directory profile. Note this is a different person from the member of the Texas House who shares the surname.

Also checked: the Spectrum News report of 2026-03-03 on Texas candidates and THC policy, the only outlet that put the question directly to 2026 congressional candidates, which does not quote them; and NORML’s Texas guide, which covers sitting members of Congress only. We also checked the full membership roll of the 89th Texas Legislature: this candidate is not a member, so there is no state roll call to attribute.

Also checked, and read in full on 2026-09-18: this candidate's Ballotpedia profile at ballotpedia.org/Eric_Flores, including any Candidate Connection survey answers published there, which contains no mention of cannabis, marijuana, hemp, THC or CBD.

The candidate's own campaign site was read on 2026-09-20 at www.ericflores.com — found by search and confirmed to name this candidate before it was attributed to them. 6 pages were read: the homepage, any JavaScript bundle it loads, and the pages linked from it. None contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD or Compassionate Use.

⚠️This covers the reachable site, not necessarily the whole site: a page that nothing links to cannot be found this way, and at least one Texas candidate keeps their platform on exactly such a page.

Their Ballotpedia profile was read in full on 2026-09-20 at ballotpedia.org/Eric_Flores (15088 characters). It contains no occurrence of cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD, delta-8 or Compassionate Use. When we re-read on 2026-10-16 their Ballotpedia profile, which is now at ballotpedia.org/Eric_Flores_(Texas) because the address cited above now leads to a page listing more than one person of that name, it recorded that they had not completed Ballotpedia’s 2026 Candidate Connection survey.

The site's own sitemap was read on 2026-09-21, which reaches pages nothing links to. Their campaign site publishes a sitemap listing 10 page(s), of which 8 were read — the sweep skips assets and archive listings rather than prose — and none of those pages contains cannabis, marijuana, marihuana, hemp, THC, CBD or Compassionate Use.

⚠️This card does not tell you whether this candidate held a seat in an earlier Legislature, but the question is now narrower. Read on 2026-10-15, from each chamber’s own journal: the roll of members-elect that the Texas House Journal prints, district by district, on the first day of every regular session from the 75th Legislature (1997) through the 89th (2025), and every senator the Texas Senate Journal names with a district on the first day of every regular session from the 76th (1999) through the 89th.

For the 89th those are journals.house.texas.gov/hjrnl/89r/pdf/89RDAY01FINAL.PDF and journals.senate.texas.gov/SJRNL/89R/HTML/89RSJ01-14-F.HTM and every journal read is listed on this site’s corrections page. No one by this candidate’s name appears in any of them. That is narrower than a negative answer. Those rolls name the members seated as each session opened, and in most years the Senate’s names the senators who were not up for election by surname alone, so a member who sat only in earlier sessions, who arrived at a special election and was never named in full on a later first day, or who served under another name would not be found this way.

If this candidate is one of those, there may be a cannabis voting record this site is missing. Read on 2026-10-17, to settle the one entry in those rolls that shares this candidate’s surname: the Senate’s first-day rolls of the 86th Legislature (2019), journals.senate.texas.gov/SJRNL/86R/HTML/86RSJ01-08-F.HTM , and the 89th (2025), journals.senate.texas.gov/SJRNL/89R/HTML/89RSJ01-14-F.HTM , each answer to one senator printed as "Flores" alone, with no forename and no district.

The Texas Senate’s own page for that senator, senate.texas.gov/member.php?d=24 , names him in full as Pete Flores, the senator for District 24, and records his Senate service as 2018 to 2021 and 2023 to the present, after a special election in 2018; the Senate’s seniority list, senate.texas.gov/seniority.php , lists one Flores, sworn in in October 2018 and again in January 2023; the Secretary of State’s official results for the special runoff election of September 18, 2018 in Senate District 19, elections.sos.state.tx.us/elchist332_state.htm , name the winner in full as Peter P.

(Pete) Flores; and the Senate Journal names him in full as the senator for District 24 on the first day of the 88th Legislature, journals.senate.texas.gov/SJRNL/88R/HTML/88RSJ01-10-F.HTM . Pete Flores is not this candidate’s name, so that roll entry does not name this candidate.

This card has been corrected. What an earlier version of it said, and what was wrong with it, is published in the corrections log.

No score: this candidate has no recorded vote or bill authorship on a cannabis measure. Silence is not a position, so nothing is inferred from it.

Who is paying for this campaign

Campaign finance — Federal Election Commission

Commission candidate H6TX34080, filed as “FLORES, ERIC”, principal committee C00912246 (ERIC FLORES FOR CONGRESS). fec.gov

Everything below covers the reporting period that ended 2026-06-30, as filed with the Commission. These figures lag the filing deadlines: money raised after that date does not appear until the next report is due, so a recent contribution is not missing, it is not yet reportable.

What we could and could not put a label on

Fraction classified: 0%. We examined $1,820,069 — the 91 largest employer groupings ($418,168) and 50 committee contributions ($1,401,901) the Commission shows for this committee — and matched $0 of it to one of our own patterns. $1,820,069 is listed above as unclassified.

What that figure is not. $1,820,069 is what we examined, not everything this campaign raised: the Commission returns the largest employer groupings rather than every contribution, and contributions too small to be itemised carry no employer at all. Read the classified fraction as a share of what we looked at.

Any grouping of contributors into an industry is weedvoter’s own classification, applied to employer and committee names exactly as filed. The Commission publishes employers and committees; it never publishes industries. OpenSecrets discontinued its public interface in April 2025, so nothing here is an OpenSecrets classification.

Money received is not a position. Everything on this card is money that changed hands. It is not evidence that any contribution influenced any decision, nothing on it is placed beside a roll call, and we make no claim about anyone’s motive. For what Eric Flores has actually done about cannabis, read the record above on this page — the roll calls, the bills that carry their name, and the date of each one, every entry linked to the document it came from. That is the part of this page built to be judged, and it is the part the score is calculated from. No contribution on this card moves that score by a cent.
