Personal life

Flora has two children. In 2015, Flora and his family moved from Modesto to Ripon, California, where he no longer lives. [4] [5] [15] Flora’s wife, Melodie, filed for divorce in April 2022 in San Joaquin County Superior Court. [16]

In July 2022, a woman named Emily Hughes claimed that Flora had multiple extra-marital affairs, one of which was with her. [17] Hughes' affair with Flora took place while Hughes worked as a lobbyist for the California Medical Association and Flora was serving on the Assembly Health Committee which deals with issues of interest to the California Medical Association. In August 2022, Flora promised to issue a formal statement about the affair, but has yet to issue a statement as of a week after the promise. [16]
