Flores endorsed Senator Bernie Sanders in the 2016 US presidential race, saying that "this is about real lives" and that "this is a system that isn’t working for the everyday person. . .it’s one of the reasons why I decided to endorse Bernie Sanders."[27]

On April 13, 2016, Sanders sent out an email to his supporters asking them to split a contribution to his campaign and Flores' congressional campaign. His reason for this request was that EMILY's List, a group that help's elect pro-choice female Democrats to office, including Sanders' opponent Hillary Clinton,[28] endorsed Flores' opponent Susie Lee[29] instead of her. The organization had endorsed her three times previously.[30] Sanders claimed in a fundraising email that the group did not endorse Flores because she had endorsed Sanders,[31] adding in another email that same day to split the contribution 4 ways instead of just 2, adding Zephyr Teachout and Pramila Jayapal.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for: Joe Biden
