A ninth-generation Texan, Congressman Bill Flores was elected in 2010 to join the 112th Congress as a Member of the House of Representatives for the 17th District of Texas.  Following his formal education, he used his undergraduate degree in Accounting, an MBA, and licensure as a CPA to advance through progressively higher-impact leadership ranks during his 30-plus year career in finance and energy.

During that career, he served as a “C” level officer in the energy business for over 20 years, where he helped create hundreds of well-paying American jobs in private and privately held companies.  Prior to retiring from the private sector in late 2009 to run for public office, Bill served as President and CEO of Phoenix Exploration Company, a successful and rapidly growing exploration and production company headquartered in Houston, Texas.  In the 114th Congress, Bill was selected by his colleagues to serve as Chair of the Republican Study Committee, the largest and most impactful caucus in the U.S. Congress. As a member of the House Energy and Commerce Committee, he has helped facilitate legislation to advance U.S. energy dominance and innovation.
