Campaign website
Flowers' campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
We Must Reconstruct Alabama Education Education reconstruction means more funding for public schools, better-trained teachers, and desegregation. Healthcare Alabama ranks high for many health risks. Alabama’s new “Reconstructed Healthcare Plan Options" will help poor working-class citizens, the elderly, and small businesses to be able to obtain the health premium and healthcare services they deserve. Criminal Justice Reform Criminal Justice is unequal throughout the state of Alabama. This reconstruction is to lower the number of prisoners in the justice system through litigation, advocacy, and equity.[2] |
