:For the African-American state senator from Pine Bluff, Arkansas, see ''Stephanie Flowers'', Vivian Laveda Flowers (born c. 1969)〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vivian Laveda Flowers )〕 is a diversity officer at the UAMS Medical Center in the capital city of Little Rock, Arkansas. A resident of Pine Bluff, she is also a Democratic member of the Arkansas House of Representatives for District 17, which includes a portion of Jefferson County in the south central section of her state.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Vivian Flowers )〕 Flowers holds a degree in Political Science and Technical Writing from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. She subsequently 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.〔 In 2014, Flowers was nominated and elected without opposition in House District 17 to succeed her fellow African-American Democrat Hank Wilkins, who was term limited.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=District 17 )〕 Flowers sits on these committees: (1) Revenue and Taxation and (2) Aging, Children, and Youth, Legislative and Military Affairs.〔 In February 2015, Flowers was among twenty legislators who opposed House Bill 1228, authored by Republican Bob Ballinger of Carroll County in northwestern Arkansas.〔 The measure sought to prohibit government from imposing a burden on the free exercise of religion.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=HB 1228 )〕 Flowers's colleague, Representative Camille Bennett, a Democrat from Lonoke, called for a reworking of the legislation 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. 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. Flowers formerly resided in San Bernardino, California and Takoma Park, Maryland, in suburban Washington, D.C., dates unavailable.〔 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vivian Flowers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
