A resident of Pine Bluff, she is also in the south central section of her state. Flowers holds a degree in Political Science and Technical Writing from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She received a master's degree from the Clinton School of Public Service, also in Little Rock. She is affiliated with the African Methodist Episcopal Church.[2] Political careerIn 2014, Flowers was nominated by the Democratic Party and elected without opposition in House District 17 to succeed fellow Democrat Hank Wilkins, who was term limited.[3] Flowers sits on committees for Revenue and Taxation; and Aging, Children, and Youth, Legislative and Military Affairs.[2] In February 2015, Flowers was among twenty legislators who opposed House Bill 1228, authored by Republican Bob Ballinger of Carroll County in northwestern Arkansas.[6] The measure sought to prohibit government from imposing a burden on the free exercise of religion.[4] Flowers's colleague, Representative Camille Bennett, a Democrat from Lonoke, called for a reworking of the legislation[5] on the theory that the Ballinger bill would establish a "type of religious litmus test," which could impact nearly any law under consideration by the legislature.[6] The legislation was subsequently passed by a large margin in the House and signed into law in revised form, SB 975, by Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson.[7] Flowers formerly resided in San Bernardino, California and Takoma Park, Maryland, in suburban Washington, D.C., dates unavailable.[1] {{Portalbar|California|Maryland|Arkansas|Politics|Methodism}}References1. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.intelius.com/results.php?ReportType=1&formname=name&qf=Vivian&qmi=&qn=Flowers&qcs=Pine+Bluff%2C+Arkansas&focusfirst=1|title=Vivian Laveda Flowers|publisher=inteliius.com|accessdate=April 15, 2015}} {{s-start}}{{succession box|2. ^1 2 {{cite web|url=http://www.arkansashouse.org/member/362/Vivian-Flowers|title=Vivian Flowers|publisher=arkansashouse.org|accessdate=April 15, 2015}} 3. ^{{cite web|url=http://ballotpedia.org/Arkansas_House_of_Representatives_elections,_2014|title=District 17|publisher=ballotpedia.org|accessdate=April 15, 2015}} 4. ^{{cite web|url=http://votesmart.org/bill/19610/51617/141580/prohibits-government-from-burdening-exercise-of-religion#.VSl8TsstEqQ|title=HB 1228|publisher=Project Vote Smart|accessdate=April 14, 2015}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.atlanticbb.net/news/read/category/General/article/the_associated_press-indiana_arkansas_try_to_stem_religious_objections-ap|title=Indiana, Arkansas try to stem religious objections uproar|publisher=Atlantic Broadband|date=April 3, 2015|accessdate=April 14, 2015|archive-url=https://archive.is/20150414161145/http://www.atlanticbb.net/news/read/category/General/article/the_associated_press-indiana_arkansas_try_to_stem_religious_objections-ap|archive-date=April 14, 2015|dead-url=yes|df=mdy-all}} 6. ^1 {{cite web|url=http://www.fox16.com/story/d/story/opponents-of-religious-freedom-bill-point-out-law/24249/AsrrUGLEdkuquASB01ZrLA|title=Opponents of Religious Freedom Bill Point Out Law Differences, Possible Unintended Consequences|publisher=Fox Channel 16|location=Little Rock, Arkansas|date=April 1, 2015|accessdate=April 14, 2015}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.thv11.com/story/news/local/2015/04/02/house-committee-passes-new-rfra-bill-headed-for-full-house/70828864/|title=Gov.
