I believe voters deserve to know where their elected officials stand before they cast their vote. My approach to public service has always been rooted in common sense, personal responsibility, strong communities, and making sure the government works for the people it serves. These are some of the issues I believe will shape Arkansas' future and where I stand on each of them.

Safe Communities Start With
Supporting Law Enforcement

Every Arkansan deserves to feel safe in their home, neighborhood, school, and community. That starts with supporting the men and women who serve in law enforcement and making sure they have the training, equipment, staffing, and resources necessary to do their jobs safely and effectively. We also have to confront the crimes that are destroying Arkansas families. Fentanyl, opioids, sex trafficking, and violent crime require serious consequences and a coordinated response from law enforcement and state leaders. I believe in second chances when they are appropriate, but protecting innocent people has to come first. Violent offenders who pose a threat to our communities should not be repeatedly released back onto our streets.

Put Patients Back
at the Center of Healthcare

I've spent a significant part of my career working in healthcare, including hospice and Medicare Advantage. I've seen the system from the inside, and I believe we have to get back to a simple principle: healthcare should be about the patient. Too often, healthcare decisions are influenced by large corporate interests, layers of administration, and paperwork that can make it harder for patients and providers to make the decisions that are best for an individual's health.

I want Arkansas to focus more heavily on prevention, personal responsibility, and helping people make healthier choices before serious health problems develop. We also cannot forget rural Arkansas. Your ZIP code should not determine whether you have reasonable access to quality healthcare.

Protecting Our Second
Amendment Rights

My support for the Second Amendment didn't begin when I decided to run for office.

I've been a hunter, shooter, and responsible firearm owner throughout my life. I understand both the freedom protected by the Second Amendment and the responsibility that comes with firearm ownership. The right of law-abiding Americans to keep and bear arms is protected by our Constitution, and I will oppose efforts that unnecessarily restrict the rights of responsible gun owners. I'm proud to have earned support from firearm organizations at both the national and local level because they know where I stand.

Preparing Arkansas Students
for the World They're Entering

Great schools start with great teachers. We need to recruit talented educators, keep experienced teachers in Arkansas classrooms, compensate them competitively, and give them the resources they need to teach effectively.

But we also have to recognize that education is changing. Artificial intelligence will transform nearly every industry our students enter. Instead of pretending that technology doesn't exist, Arkansas should lead in teaching students and educators how to use AI responsibly and effectively. Technology should assist teachers, not replace them. And college cannot be the only definition of success.

Arkansas needs electricians, welders, healthcare professionals, technicians, construction professionals, advanced manufacturing workers, and skilled tradespeople. Career centers, technical schools, apprenticeships, and workforce retraining should be treated as essential parts of our education system.

Arkansas Should Compete
With the World

Arkansas has tremendous advantages. We have a central location, strong communities, natural resources, hardworking people, and access to transportation systems that can connect Arkansas businesses to markets across the country and around the world.

But economic development doesn't happen simply because we want it to. Businesses have choices about where they invest, expand, and create jobs. Arkansas has to compete for those opportunities.That means preparing our workforce for the industries of tomorrow while investing in the infrastructure businesses need today.

Roads matter. Rail matters. Our rivers matter. Airports matter. Broadband and technology matter. When businesses can efficiently move people, products, information, and resources, Arkansas becomes more competitive.
