In this episode of Power Hour, host Todd M. Schoenberger sits down with Lt. Col. Berney Flowers, a retired Air Force officer and 2026 congressional candidate for Maryland’s 3rd District. Flowers addresses how the ongoing federal government shutdown — which has stalled approximately $185 million in grants and furloughed Maryland federal employees — is shaping his campaign messaging and priorities.

He explains his “America-First” approach to infrastructure, citing Maryland’s delayed Francis Scott Key Bridge repairs and calling out state leadership for inaction while communities suffer. Flowers discusses what it takes to run a Republican campaign in a predominantly blue state, how his ground game is evolving, and why he believes his message of term limits, business attraction, and election integrity is resonating.

The discussion moves into economic territory, where Flowers warns of rising socialism among younger voters and champions capitalism as the engine of American opportunity. He also previews his Veterans Day campaign event in Clarksburg, Maryland, invites listeners to learn more at FlowersForMaryland.com, and offers candid reflections on the race ahead. Whether you’re following national politics or Maryland’s changing landscape, this episode delivers frontline insight into a contest rooted in service, strategy and survival.
