Mike Flood (born 1975) is a Nebraska state senator from Norfolk, Nebraska in the Nebraska Legislature and also a broadcaster and a lawyer. In 2007, he was elected Speaker of the Legislature.

Personal life

He was born on Feb. 23, 1975, in Omaha, Nebraska and graduated from University of Notre Dame in 1997 and from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln in 2001. He is a board member for Lavitsef Inc., Norfolk Rotary Club, Nebraska Broadcasters Association, Norfolk Community Healthcare Clinic, Madison Community Club, Nebraska/Madison County Bar Association. He is also the legal counsel for the Madison County Agricultural Society and the founder and past sponsor for the Norfolk Youth Leadership Council. Flood is often confused with University of Dallas player Michael Flood. They are in no relation.

State legislature

He was elected in 2004 to represent the 19th Nebraska legislative district. He currently sits on the Committee On Committees, the Executive Board, Intergovernmental Cooperation, Legislative Performance Audit, and the Rules Committees.[1]

In October 2010, Time Magazine on-line named him as one of their "40 Under 40" rising stars of American politics.[2]

Flood was the author of Nebraska's law banning abortions after 20 weeks, based on the claim, described by the American Congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists as lacking legitimate evidence, that the fetus feels pain. After a case in which a woman was forced to give birth to a non-viable fetus that suffocated fifteen minutes after birth, Flood defended the law and asserted that it worked as intended, saying, "Even in these situations where the baby has a terminal condition or there's not much chance of surviving outside of the womb, my point has been and remains that is still a life."[3][4][5]
