Mike Flood — Republican Candidate for U.S. House in Nebraska, 2026

Congressman Mike Flood voted for funding to enforce immigration laws and allocate $46.5 billion for border security. He supports completing the border wall, expanding funding for Customs and Border Protection and ICE, and closing immigration law loopholes. Flood opposes amnesty and any pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, stating that a secure border is essential for the country's safety and enforcement of existing laws.

““Americans went to the polls in November, and they had a choice between a Democratic candidate that had an open border, no enforcement, fentanyl, drugs, human trafficking, and they had a choice between that and a candidate that said close the border, get illegal immigrants out of our country, stop the fentanyl, stop the human trafficking, stop the drugs, stop the crime, stop the violence. That’s what Americans voted for.” Mike Flood, CNN town hall, August 4, 2025.”

Congressman Mike Flood supports extending healthcare subsidies, advocating for reforms to ensure they target vulnerable Americans and prevent waste and fraud. He voted in favor of a bill to extend ACA tax credits. Flood has also introduced legislation aimed at increasing financial sustainability for rural hospitals by offering flexibility in reimbursement models.

““Any extension, however, must include reforms to ensure these subsidies narrowly apply to our most vulnerable Americans, and are not rife with fraud, waste, and abuse,” Flood said. “The bill being pushed via the discharge petition doesn’t have reforms and a similar version of this proposal was rejected by the Senate recently, meaning the version in the House discharge petition isn’t likely to ever become law. I want to see both sides continue to work to find compromise. We have other real bipartisan proposals that have been put on the table, and I will continue working with my colleagues to find a path forward.” (Mike Flood, 10/11, December 18, 2025)”

Representative Mike Flood advocates for policies that support energy exploration and the use of diverse energy sources such as ethanol, coal, and natural gas, citing concerns about energy affordability and economic impact. He voted yes on the Homeowner Energy Freedom Act and the Securing America's Critical Minerals Supply Act in 2026. Flood opposes initiatives like the Green New Deal, mileage taxes, and carbon taxes, expressing that they would hinder the economy. He received a 0% score from the League of Conservation Voters in 2025, with a lifetime score of 2%.

“The Biden administration's anti-drilling and anti-pipeline policies have predictably resulted in lost jobs and massive price increases at the pump. We must support energy exploration and the use of reliable, affordable energy sources like ethanol, coal, and natural gas. Only an all-of-the-above approach will ensure Americans secure access to affordable energy for our vehicles, homes, and businesses. I oppose the Green New Deal, mileage taxes, carbon taxes, and any other radical effort to shackle our economy." (Mike Flood, mikefloodfornebraska.com)”

Congressman Mike Flood opposes abortion and supports legislation to protect born-alive infants. He voted for the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act, stating that "every human life is a gift" and that federal law should provide basic protections to children born during attempted abortions. He also supports Missouri Amendment 3, which aims to prohibit abortions with limited exceptions and repeal the constitutional right to reproductive freedom.

““Every human life is a gift. Right now, federal law does not make it clear whether children born, even amid an attempted abortion, have a right to medical care. The Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act places a federal standard into law and provides basic protections. This is a commonsense measure that defends against practices that amount to infanticide and ensures that our healthcare system is doing more to respect every human life.” - Congressman Mike Flood, statement on H.R. 21 vote.”

Mike Flood advocates for strengthening the U.S. military, investing in advanced defense domains, and maintaining border security to counter threats from nations like Russia and China. He supports stronger economic ties and a diplomatic solution with NATO allies Denmark and Greenland to address Arctic security and resource access. He opposes amnesty for illegal immigrants, emphasizing strong immigration enforcement for national security.

““In the last hour, I met with the Ambassador of Denmark and the Head of Greenland Representation to discuss the longstanding ties between our nations and the NATO alliance. The people of Denmark and Greenland are ready and willing to continue our partnership in the Arctic to counter growing Russian and Chinese threats. After meeting with their representatives, I am confident that Secretary of State Marco Rubio can navigate a diplomatic win-win solution with one of our finest allies.” – Congressman Mike Flood, flood.house.gov/media/press-releases/congressman-flood-calls-diplomatic-solution-and-stronger-economic-ties-nato”

Mike Flood opposes measures that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms, viewing this as a fundamental liberty granted by the Creator. He emphasizes supporting law enforcement by providing necessary tools to combat crime and ensure officer safety. This includes support for legislation like H.R. 2189, which reclassifies conducted electrical weapons (such as tasers) as "less-than-lethal projectile devices" to make them more accessible for police without being treated as firearms under federal tax laws.
