I am a native of District 53, a constitutional conservative Christian, married 30 + years to my wife Valerie who is the Executive Director of Options on Main a Pregnancy Resource Center, we have twin boys, I'm an Arkansas State University graduate, current Jonesboro City Alderman, Chair of the Public Services Committee, member of Public Safety, I also Chair Northeast Arkansas Workforce Development Board, and have been an HR Director for over 17 years. I have a record of voting the way I say I'm going to vote. I believe in limited government, lower taxes, free markets, the sanctity of human life from conception, a staunch 2nd amendment proponent, and secure borders.
  • I will do what I say I'm going to do and vote on issues the way I campaign on.
  • Return more power and money to the local level instead of growing government at the state level.
  • Continue to support legislation that protects the life of the unborn and the right of free men to keep and bear arms.
1) Arkansas has the 3rd highest combines tax burden in the US. I will support legislation to lower our the overall tax burden for all Arkansans.

2) I feel we can continue to protect the 2nd amendment by passing stand your ground laws and rejecting Red Flag laws.

3) I believe life begins at conception. I want to continue to make strides to protect the life of the unborn.
I look up to my parents. They taught me to work hard, trust God, and take responsibility for my actions. They taught me to help others by serving and be respectful to people. The exemplified leadership in their lives and I followed suit.
The Bible.
Consistency, integrity, and spunk.
Intelligent, A good listener, Problem solver.
To represent their electorate with honor and zeal.
When people think of me they would say, Bobby was a man who loved God, loved his family, and served his community and state just like he said he would.
I remember Richard Nixon being forced to resign and Gerald Ford being sworn in. I was 7 years old.
Working in the fields of Mississippi county when I was 14 years old.
Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. Reminds me there is absolute truth.
Luke Skywalker. I think the light sabre care cool.
So Will I by Bethel.
Making time for myself.
I believe it is important that there be a working knowledge of the office sought but not necessarily experience in government.
The lure of raising taxes, and the ever present assault on the rights of free men.
The governor should be the executor of legislation passed by the legislators. He should not pick winners and losers of businesses and work with the legislators to make the State more attractive to job creators. He should be an advocate for the rights of people and work with the legislators to protect and serve the people of Arkansas.
Yes I do. At the same time, we all have our own convictions. I will not compromise my own principles.
No preference.
NA
Maybe after a first term.
Brandt Smith - Dan Sullivan.
I will leave those options open.
