Veterans for America First is proud to officially endorse David Flippo for Congress in Nevada.
David Flippo is a battle-tested American Patriot with a lifetime of proven leadership and service to our nation. During his distinguished career in the United States Air Force, David commanded more than 1,000 Airmen and led the establishment of three operational bases in Iraq during active combat operations. His final Air Force assignment placed him in command of the Maintenance Operations and Aircraft Maintenance Squadrons at Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska, where he oversaw more than 800 Airmen and managed operations for over 72 combat aircraft, ensuring mission readiness, national security strength, and operational excellence.
Following his military service, David continued his commitment to safeguarding American infrastructure, spending a decade with BP in Alaska where he developed and implemented a comprehensive preventive maintenance program across the North Slope oilfields. He led teams responsible for ensuring the steady and secure flow of oil through the Alaska Pipeline, one of America’s most critical energy lifelines.
Now a Nevada small business owner, David has experienced the real economic challenges facing families and business owners firsthand, including inflation, regulatory burdens, supply chain instability, wage pressures, and increasing operating costs. His leadership style is rooted in accountability, discipline, and a servant-leadership mindset, not political gamesmanship. Nevada and our nation need leaders with real-world experience who understand what it takes to keep communities safe, support working families, protect Constitutional freedoms, restore fiscal responsibility, and stand firm against government overreach.
David Flippo embodies the commitment to service, the courage under pressure, and the unwavering dedication that defines America’s veterans. He fought for this country in uniform, and he is ready to continue that fight in Congress on behalf of Nevada families and the future of our nation.
This endorsement is made with full confidence that David Flippo is the right leader at the right time for Nevada and for America.
