Berney Flowers
Flowers answered the survey question directly: "Yes, America’s relationship with Israel is very important — but it must be based on shared strategic interests, not unconditional blank checks. My support is America First, not Israel First. Continue military aid that benefits both nations."
Flowers is the Republican nominee in Maryland’s 3rd District, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel.
His position sits in a candidate survey he answered across the form: "Yes, America’s relationship with Israel is very important — but it must be based on shared strategic interests, not unconditional blank checks. My support is America First, not Israel First. Continue military aid that benefits both nations." A conditions-flavored support position in his own words (continue aid, no blank checks), with the em dash his own punctuation.
Nothing located has him addressing U.S. aid to Palestinians, and race coverage adds nothing in scope.
