Edward A. Flood is an American politician who is the assemblyman for New York's 4th assembly district. A Republican, he is a resident of Port Jefferson Station, New York. He was first elected in 2022, defeating 30-year incumbent Steve Englebright in a close race.[1]

Following his victory, Flood praised Englebright for having a clean ethical record, and stated that he wanted to continue Englebright's focus on environmental issues.[2]

In April 2023, Flood publicly criticized Stony Brook University's new proposed parking plan, a plan that would create a tiered system in which lots closest to the University would cost more than those that are farther away, among other things.[3]

Flood sat on the Committee on Banks, Committee on Children and Families, Committee on Codes, Committee on Environmental Conservation, Committee on Higher Education, and the Committee on Judiciary.[4]

In September 2024, Flood, previously a licensed attorney, was disbarred from the practice of law by the New York Appellate Division.[5]

In the 2024 New York State Assembly election, he was unseated by Democrat Rebecca Kassay.[6]
