Episode Details

With Election Day approaching, Republican congressional nominee Berney Flowers returns to Campaign Trail: The Road to Congress for a wide-ranging conversation about the issues he is putting at the center of his campaign for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District. Maryland election records show Flowers won the Republican primary with 48.92% of the vote and will face Democratic incumbent Sarah Elfreth in November.

Host Todd M. Schoenberger begins with Maryland’s economy and the debate over job creation under Gov. Wes Moore. Flowers questions whether the jobs being created provide wages capable of supporting Maryland families and discusses how economic conditions are affecting voters. The latest available state data estimate that Maryland added 20,100 jobs during the first eight months of 2026, while the unemployment rate stood at 4.1% in August. The episode itself includes a sharper debate over Moore’s job-creation claims and revisions to employment data.

The conversation then turns to immigration and national security, with Flowers explaining his support for legal immigration alongside stronger vetting and enforcement. Drawing on his national-security background, he discusses how he views the connection between border and immigration policy and protecting the country.

Flowers also lays out his position on members of Congress trading stocks, arguing that lawmakers should not be able to profit from information or policy decisions unavailable to ordinary investors. One clarification is important: during the interview, Elfreth is described as voting against the Stop Insider Trading Act. The House Clerk's July 22 roll call instead records Elfreth voting “yea” on the Democratic motion to recommit H.R. 7008, while Republicans voted against that procedural motion; the transcript's characterization therefore should not be presented as an established voting fact without additional context about the underlying legislation and procedural votes.

Finally, Flowers discusses his campaign's final stretch and his effort to meet District 3 voters face-to-face as the November election approaches.
