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.
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.
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.
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.
In September 2024, Flood, previously a licensed attorney, was disbarred from the practice of law by the New York Appellate Division.
In the 2024 New York State Assembly election, he was unseated by Democrat Rebecca Kassay.
