She campaigned on a promise to focus on youth development, affordable housing, clean energy and providing accommodations for people with special needs. She has supported the call for a new constitutional review and has pledged her commitment to the Sister Islands. She was the first female legislator from Virgin Gorda. Alongside Vincent Wheatley, she was also part of only the second set of legislators from the Sisters Islands to serve in the House of Assembly concurrently, the first set being Ralph T. O'Neal and Reeial George. She is also one of three women in the legislator, alongside Alvera Maduro-Caines and Sharie de Castro, for the first time ever. Flax-Charles was assigned as the Junior Minister for Tourism following the election. On 26 November 2019, she was reassigned as Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development, an appointment that was effective the previous day. As a result of the 2021 Commission of Inquiry report, Natalio Wheatley proposed a new Cabinet, comprising ministers from all three major political parties. The new Unity Government was sworn in on 5 May 2022, with Flax-Charles retaining her portfolio as Junior Minister for Trade and Economic Development. Personal life
