Biography
Lulu Flores is a longtime champion of equality and social justice. She rose through the grassroots ranks to serve as President and CEO of the National Women’s Political Caucus, the longest serving institution committed to increasing women’s participation throughout the political process. Likewise, Lulu’s leadership can be seen at all levels, from being elected a National Delegate for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, to Chairing the Austin Arts Commission, to serving as Chief of Staff to the first Mexican American woman elected to the Texas House, Representative Irma Rangel.
Growing up along the border as the youngest of nine children, Lulu’s commitment to civil rights was instilled by her father, an attorney and one of the founding members of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). But she also saw how little would be accomplished were it not for the behind the scenes work of strong women like her mother.
Thanks to her parents’ strong belief in education, Lulu moved to Austin to study at the University of Texas, where she also graduated from law school. She began her career in the state legislature working for Rep. Irma Rangel, a pioneer who rose to serve as Chair of the Higher Education Committee. Lulu continued her career in public service working as Director of Legislative Programs for the State Bar of Texas, and Assistant Director for Alternative Fuels Policy and Legislation/Governmental Affairs at the Texas Railroad Commission, before joining her husband, Scott, as partner in their law firm, Hendler Flores Law, PLLC.
Lulu is excited and looks forward to serving on Culture, Recreation, & Tourism and Judiciary & Civil Jurisprudence during her first session in the Texas House.

Lulu Flores lleva mucho tiempo defendiendo la igualdad y la justicia social. Ascendió entre las bases hasta convertirse en Presidenta y Directora General del Caucus Político Nacional de Mujeres, la institución más longeva dedicada a aumentar la participación de las mujeres en todo el proceso político. Asimismo, el liderazgo de Lulu puede apreciarse a todos los niveles, desde su elección como delegada nacional de la campaña presidencial de Hillary Clinton, pasando por la presidencia de la Comisión de las Artes de Austin, hasta su cargo de jefa de gabinete de la primera mujer mexicano-americana elegida para la Cámara de Representantes de Texas, la Representante Irma Rangel.
Su padre, abogado y uno de los miembros fundadores de la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC), le inculcó su compromiso con los derechos civiles. Pero también vio lo poco que se conseguiría si no fuera por el trabajo entre bastidores de mujeres fuertes como su madre.
Gracias a que sus padres creían firmemente en la educación, Lulu se trasladó a Austin para estudiar en la Universidad de Texas, donde también se graduó de la Facultad de Derecho. Comenzó su carrera en la legislatura estatal trabajando para la Representante Irma Rangel, una pionera que llegó a presidir la Comisión de Educación Superior. Lulu continuó su carrera en el servicio público trabajando como Directora de Programas Legislativos para el Colegio de Abogados del Estado de Texas, y Directora Adjunta de Política de Combustibles Alternativos y Legislación/Asuntos Gubernamentales en la Comisión de Ferrocarriles de Texas, antes de unirse a su esposo, Scott, como socia en su bufete de abogados, Hendler Flores Law, PLLC.
Lulu está entusiasmada y espera servir en los sectores de Cultura, Ocio y Turismo y Judicatura y Jurisprudencia Civil durante su primera sesión en la Cámara de Texas.
