Bill Flores is seeking the Republican nomination for Texas' 17th District in the US House of Representatives. Thursday morning, he talked about his campaign for this March primary on the only local morning television newscast.

Flores was the latest of 15 candidates who will appear throughout February on Brazos Valley This Morning. His opponents for the Republican nomination are Rob Curnock, Timothy Delasandro, Dave McIntyre and Chuck Wilson. McIntyre will appear on the show Friday. The others were on earlier in the week.

Flores explained his reasons for running, the biggest issues facing the southern portion of District 17, his views on earmarks, and his opinions on the nation's economic woes.

The retired businessman also answered questions after the on-air segment for the morning show's Facebook and YouTube sites. That video is available below. Become a fan of BVTM on Facebook for exclusive behind the scenes content and updates.
