Her revelation once again renewed the nation’s MeToo debate over the personal conduct of men in power. Online, the personal attacks have been vicious and demeaning. But Lucy Flores has contended with adversity much of her life — starting as a toddler.
Lucy Flores, born in L.A. but raised in Las Vegas, was arrested several times before getting a GED, going to law school and eventually winning election to the Nevada state Assembly. When running for the Nevada Legislature as a 30-year-old political neophyte, she was open with voters about her parents’ broken marriage, about her teenage life in a Las Vegas gang, about how she had stolen cars. Once elected, she told a legislative committee she had received an abortion when she was teen.
Flores wrote the essay, she said, because she had seen one too many accounts of Biden touching people in “creepy” ways.So on Tuesday, she called her dad. Before she spoke a word, he lifted the burden. He told her: “I know you’re doing this for the right reasons.”Her revelation once again renewed the nation’s tempestuous #MeToo debate over the personal conduct of men in power and threatened to jeopardize Biden’s anticipated presidential campaign even before he made his candidacy official.
Then gangs found her. They provided her a sense of belonging. They’d cajole her into stealing. Little things at first, like food or alcohol. At 14 she got arrested for stealing a car and served 10 months in a juvenile detention center. Flores talked to Camp about her home life and education and her future. “She was trying to understand me. Nobody had really listened to me before,” Flores said.
She decided to run for state Assembly after doing pro bono work at the state Capitol in 2010 for the Rocky Mountain Innocence Center and helping lobby to get two pieces of wrongful-conviction legislation passed, Flores said.
