I am honored to serve as the current State Senator for Nevada Senate District 2, and I am running for re-election to continue representing our community. Since 2015, I have proudly served the hardworking families of Nevada—first in Assembly District 28 and now in the Senate—always guided by a simple principle: every piece of legislation I support must promote equity, transparency, and access for all of our communities, not just some.

Too often, voices are left off the bargaining table. That’s why I’ve stood proudly with our unions while also advocating for the small business community. As the owner of both the Edgar Flores Law Office and a background check company, I know firsthand the grit and sacrifice it takes to build and sustain a business. Keeping the lights on, paying staff, and serving clients isn’t just theory to me—it’s lived experience that shapes my balanced, open-door approach to policymaking.

My family’s story is one shared by so many in Nevada Senate District 2. In the 1980s, my parents—seeking a better life—came to Las Vegas with nothing but their determination. Their hands still bear the blisters of sacrifice and hard work that built a foundation for me to thrive. Thanks to their example and the strength of Nevada’s public schools, I earned a bachelor’s degree in English from UNLV and later a Juris Doctorate from the William S. Boyd School of Law. Today, I am proud to teach Public Policy at UNLV, helping prepare the next generation of leaders.

For nearly two decades, I have worked alongside youth programs to empower students from underprivileged communities, showing them they belong in college, in law, and in leadership. Mentorship is pivotal to success, and I will never stop investing in the future of our young people.

As an attorney, I focus on immigration law because I have lived the story of opportunity. My parents came from a generation that was denied the privilege of an education. Today, their son not only became an attorney but was able to personally file his father’s U.S. citizenship paperwork—a moment that transformed my family’s story from one of limitation to one of empowerment. That is the American Dream I fight to protect and expand for every Nevada family.

Above all, I am a father to an incredible little boy who inspires me every single day to fight for a Nevada that is stronger, fairer, and more inclusive.
