8 priorities from ericflores.com, in the order they are listed there. Every heading and the text under it is copied exactly, as one passage for each page it is from, and links to that place on the page; hover a source to see which passage it opens.
South Texas and the Coastal Bend helped build America's energy, agriculture, and shipping economy, but Democrat Vicente Gonzalez only treats us like an afterthought. I'll bring federal funds to our community, push back on mandates that ignore how our region actually works, hold federal agencies accountable when they slow down projects that lead to good-paying jobs, and always deliver real, lasting results.

Families in our communities are struggling because of rising grocery bills, gas prices, insurance premiums, and housing costs. I'll oppose reckless federal spending that fuels inflation, fight to cut the red tape driving up costs for families and small businesses, and support affordable housing solutions that keep pace with our growing communities. Just this past year, Vicente Gonzalez voted against real tax relief for working families and those in the service industry. His failure to act on their behalf is inexcusable.

South Texas and the Coastal Bend's infrastructure carry the weight of our nation's energy exports and agricultural trade, but our roads, bridges, and utilities haven't kept pace and are in disrepair. I'll fight to secure federal funding for road, bridge, and port improvements, expand broadband in rural communities, and advocate for the Port of Corpus Christi and Brownsville like the national economic assets they are.

Water is critical to South Texas. It's vital for our families, our farmers, and our ranchers. I'll fight for federal investment in our water infrastructure, support efforts to protect agricultural and municipal water supplies, and push for long-term regional water planning instead of relying on short-term fixes.

As an Infantry Captain in the Army National Guard, I know firsthand what our men and women in uniform sacrifice, as well as what they're owed when they come home. I'll fight to reduce VA wait times and expand access to care throughout our communities, support fully funding veterans' benefits and disability claims, and champion mental health and suicide prevention resources for veterans.

Seniors in our communities have worked their whole lives to afford a comfortable life. The promise of their money being available after retirement must be kept. While Vicente Gonzalez wants to tax seniors' benefits, I'll oppose any effort to cut those earned benefits, fight to ensure they keep pace with the true cost of living, support expanding access to affordable prescription drugs, and push for stronger protections against elder fraud and financial exploitation.

Agriculture is the backbone of South Texas. As our farmers and ranchers are hit by continued drought, rising costs, and parasitic pests, they need our support now more than ever. I'll fight for strong legislation that protects South Texas producers, pushes for crop insurance and disaster relief that responds quickly to extreme weather, opposes trade policies that hurt local agricultural markets, and defends farm and ranch property rights.

Small businesses are the economic engine of South Texas and the Coastal Bend. I'll fight for tax relief and reduced regulatory burdens for small business owners, support workforce development that connects South Texans to good-paying local jobs, and champion policies that keep economic opportunity growing here at home, not just in big cities like Houston and Dallas.

A poll is a snapshot, not a forecast.
Official FEC filing record for the current cycle. The priorities they publish are quoted from their own site, in their order.
Statements are quoted from these pages exactly. Headings, order and wording are the campaign’s; the record marking is ours.
A donor who gave several times appears once. The 12 largest donors by total given are listed. In all, 13,827 itemized contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $916.2K.
Money moved in from the candidate’s other authorized committees, such as a joint fundraising committee. It was raised once and is reported again here on arrival. The 7 largest sources by total given are listed. In all, 19 transfers were filed this cycle, totaling $514.6K.
Each loan as the campaign’s report through Oct 14, 2026 lists it, with what is still owed. A loan from an earlier cycle can appear here, and one repaid in full drops off the report, so the list need not add up to the row.
The 12 largest committees by total given are listed. In all, 134 committee contributions were filed this cycle, totaling $381.7K. Counted from the givers' own filings, which can run above the total the campaign itself reports.
Total reported receipts $4,009,074
Every dollar the committee reported receiving this cycle, split by the source the FEC filing attributes it to. Open a source marked + to see who gave. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.

By the state each donor wrote on the filing, across 47 states and territories. Donors who have given $200 or less this cycle are not itemized, so they cannot be placed on a map. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total.
| Employer as filed | Amount |
|---|---|
| Written instead of an employer · 12,401 contributions · 55% of ranked | $400,409 |
| Written instead of an employer · 111 contributions · 9.7% of ranked | $70,806 |
| 1 contribution · 1.9% of ranked | $14,000 |
| Written instead of an employer · 7 contributions · 1.5% of ranked | $10,900 |
| 5 contributions · 1.1% of ranked | $8,000 |
| 4 contributions · 1% of ranked | $7,500 |
| 2 contributions · 1% of ranked | $7,500 |
| 2 contributions · 1% of ranked | $7,000 |
A further $185,530 came from donors whose answer names no employer (N/A, blank), so it is not ranked. Itemized gifts over $200, grouped by the words donors filed: not an industry classification, and a gift from an employee is not a gift from the employer. The FEC’s grouping also counts joint-fundraising memo lines, so these rows can add up to more than the itemized total. Gifts of $200 or less ($690,721) are not itemized, so no employer or occupation is filed for them.
Money groups spent on their own, not through a campaign. Each ad is filed against the candidate it names, so money attacking an opponent shows on the opponent’s row. Open a candidate to see who spent it.
The campaign also refunded $100,531 in contributions, which the categories below do not include.
Total itemized disbursements $2,188,298
Every itemized payment the committee reported this cycle, sorted by what it said each one was for. The categories are ours; the wording they are matched against is the committee’s own. Open a category to read the filed descriptions and who was paid. FEC filings through Oct 14, 2026.
All 1,023 itemized payments filed this cycle. Spending below the itemization threshold is not filed line by line.
103 payments were reported as a lump sum, such as a card or payroll bill, with the detail filed underneath as memo entries. Those entries, $374,200 in all, are counted under the payee and purpose they name rather than under the processor that was paid. The total is the same either way.
| Name | Amount |
|---|---|
| 13 payments · 23% of all spending | $855,838 |
| 74 payments · 7.7% of all spending | $289,534 |
| 33 payments · 7.1% of all spending | $266,342 |
| 10 payments · 2.9% of all spending | $108,257 |
| 8 payments · 2.9% of all spending | $108,115 |
| 16 payments · 2.6% of all spending | $96,292 |
| 61 payments · 2.5% of all spending | $95,268 |
| 14 payments · 1.3% of all spending | $48,627 |
The people, firms and committees paid the most, across every kind of payment. Each share is of everything the committee reported spending this cycle, not only the itemized payments above. A payee that is itself a committee links to its own profile.
| Occupation as filed | Amount |

| Written instead of an occupation · 12,402 contributions · 55% of ranked | $399,794 |
| 25 contributions · 4.9% of ranked | $36,159 |
