- "I believe abortion is wrong, except in the case of rape, incest or danger to the mother. I donât believe that the government should fund abortion. I believe in the right to life for everyone. I believe that I should not force my views upon others, but I also believe that the government should not force its views upon others." Vote Berney Flowers for Congress District 2" (l.facebook.com)

- "Friends, I would like to bring to your attention "Maryland Senate Bill 669, also called the "Pregnant Personâs Freedom Act of 2022". If I am correct, the bill's sponsor, Democrat Senator William Smith, proposes to, "legalize abortion up to 28 days after a child is born"? How can a civil society justify an action like that? My team and I believe this law to be immoral and unjust. We stand against this proposed new law. We stand for the preservation of Human Life." (l.facebook.com)

Amid the city's ongoing challenges of underperforming schools, ongoing homicides, and persistent unemployment, the Biden administration is desperately seeking to solve problems by adding more problems to a city plagued with problems. Enough is enough. We need congressional leaders who will fight for the interests of Baltimoreans, not the interests of fat-cat bureaucrats seeking a stash house for their ill-thought policies."
