Benjamin Flores for Texas Governor

I'm Benjamin Flores and I'm running for Governor.
My campaignis driven by the core Texas values of community, accountability and personal freedom. Its priorities are being set in cities, towns and neighborhoods by listening to and learning from people who are struggling with our state's real problems.

I'm Benjamin Flores
I came to the United States from Mexico in 1996 with two bags of clothes, a strong work ethic and a dream. I washed cars, fried chicken at KFC, and repaired hotel computers at a Marriott in California – leading to my 30‑year career in cybersecurity — protecting banks, fintech firms, and county governments.
In 2016, my wife An Huynh, our daughter Nadia and I moved from Austin to Bay City. We starting a small family business raising heritage-breed pigs. Wrestling with the red tape all too common to small producers pushed me toward public service. I stepped up, hoping to make local laws fair and transparent, and was elected to the Bay City City Council.
I currently serve on the city council, on the Bay City Development Corporation, and I represent the city at the Houston‑Galveston Area Council. Drawing on my CERT training, I've helped neighbors after hurricanes and promote community preparedness in Bay City and elsewhere.
I'm running for Governor to deliver Texas freedoms and opportunities to everyone. Strong public schools. A reliable power grid. Robust disaster preparedness. Affordable food, housing and healthcare. And a state government focused on problem solving instead of political bickering.
Our Community. Our Conversation.
I believe in a Texas where we look out for our neighbors and work together. Where diversity is a strength. Where communities are strengthened and protected. And where problem solving statrs with listen to each other.
I believe we need to address the real challenges our families face every day. That starts with conversations about:
A world-class education for our children, in schools that are safe, modern, and preparing them for the jobs of tomorrow.
Housing our families can afford, which means tackling soaring property taxes so a home is a place of security, not stress.
Confidence in the basics, like knowing the lights will stay on during a storm and the water from our taps will be clean and safe for generations.
Prepared families and resilient communities, with clear early‑warning systems, stocked local shelters, and statewide training so every Texan knows what to do when disaster strikes.
These are the type of conversations I want to have with you.
Accountability at the Capitol. Freedom for Your Family.
For too long now, the negative energy coming out of Austin has been dividing us. Real leadership is about bringing people, communities and businesses together and helping them thrive. It's also about listening and delivering on promises.
Freedom is more than just a word.
It's the freedon to send our kids to great public schools and know that they are safe.
It's the freedom to buy meds and see a doctor without worrying about how to pay for it.
It's the freedom for small businesses to thrive, unburdened by unnecessary red tape and a fragile power grid'
It's knowing you can afford the rent or a home, not worrying about the skyrocketing cost of housing.
I fight for these freedoms in every community meeting in attend. And with your help together, I'll fight for them in Austin.
Building Our Platform. Together.
A candidate shouldn’t show up on the campaign trail with a rigid plan; they should keep with an open mind. My commitment is to listen to Texans who are dealing with real problems and learn from them how they believe our problems should be solved.
My campaign and my priorities for when I am elected will be shaped by the experiences and the wisdom of Texans during our our "Texans Thrive Together" co-authoring tour.
These and other issues have been subject of some great discussions I am having with people across the state.
A World-Class Public Education: How can we best empower our teachers and foster innovation in the classroom?
Affordable Housing & Lower Property Taxes: What are the most effective solutions to ease the property tax burden on families?
A Modern and Resilient Electric Power Grid: What is needed to restore your confidence in our state's electrical grid?
Clean Water for Today and Tomorrow: How do we protect our natural resources and guarantee clean water for the next generation?
Healthcare Everyone Can Access and Afford: What practical steps can we take to lower costs and improve access in rural Texas?
Your experiences and your ideas will form the foundation of this campaign because that's how Texans solve problems. Together.

This campaign is about you. Your voice and your support is essential as we create change that benefits all Texans.
