PAC launches attack on HD 93 candidate
Protect and Serve Texas PAC published opposition research on September 17 targeting Democratic candidate Ericka Lomick, citing her federal mortgage-fraud conviction and 63-month prison sentence.
Mortgage fraud charges in North Carolina
Federal records show Ericka L. Flood, also known as Ericka Lomick, was charged in 2010 as a mortgage broker in a federal fraud investigation in North Carolina. She faced eight counts including mortgage-fraud conspiracy, bank fraud, and money-laundering conspiracy.
Guilty plea and prison sentence
Lomick entered a plea agreement on January 4, 2011, admitting guilt to mortgage-fraud conspiracy, bank fraud, and money-laundering conspiracy. She received concurrent federal prison terms including a 63-month sentence.
Failed appeal while incarcerated
While in federal prison, Lomick challenged her conviction through a motion under federal law. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit dismissed her appeal as untimely in a 2013 opinion.
Three hundred thousand dollar lien filed
An assistant U.S. attorney filed a $300,000 lien against Lomick with the Tarrant County Clerk's Office on January 30, 2024. The lien stems from a 2011 federal judgment connected to her criminal case.
Running against Republican Alan Blaylock
Lomick is the Democratic nominee for House District 93 in Tarrant County, running unopposed in the March primary with 14,140 votes. She faces Republican nominee Alan Blaylock in the general election.
Two elections on November ballot
Voters will see two HD 93 contests on November 3: a regular general election and a special election to fill the unexpired term after former state Rep. Nate Schatzline resigned.
Campaign emphasizes integrity and results
Lomick's campaign website describes her as a leader in business operations and strategic leadership, stating she will fight to make HD 93 one of the strongest and most prosperous districts in Texas.
“Ericka is ready to lead with integrity, compassion, and results-driven action.”
The key point
