Campaign website

Washburn's campaign website stated the following:

“

When Elected, Governor Washburn Will:

  • Replace mandates with freedom! No more forced masks! No more forced vax!
  • Begin immediately working to eliminate the personal state income, and state capital gains taxes, and pay for it by cutting the size of government instead of increasing other taxes!
  • Make Arkansas the safest place in America for children, born and unborn!
  • Uphold our Second Amendment rights, signing a clear constitutional carry bill into law!
  • Sign a bill to require public schools to put all their curricula online and be made accessible by parents.
  • Launch the initiative to fund students, not school systems - a real revolution of school choice for all parents and students!
  • Overhaul our child welfare system! Parents' rights must be protected! Child welfare workers will be required to wear body cams and inform parents of their Miranda rights! No more barging into homes without a warrant!
  • Fire the Director of the Arkansas Department of Health and the Arkansas Surgeon General and replace them with competent medical professionals who will encourage Arkansas hospitals and doctors to actually treat people who catch Covid 19!
  • Establish an office to make sure our veterans get all the federal benefits they are entitled to!
  • Have nursing homes and assisted living centers inspected often to make sure our cherished senior citizens aren' t being abused!
  • Fight to stop the fifty-year liberal assault on students in our public schools and universities! State-funded institutions should be places of education, not indoctrination!
  • Start a complete conservative makeover of all state agencies! We believe in individual liberty and freedom. It's about time our state government reflects our values!
  • Make sure violent criminals stay incarcerated and parole absconders are immediately re-incarcerated.
  • Ensure the integrity of our levees, bridges, and other infrastructure to protect Arkansans!
  • Begin public pension fund stabilization by bringing transparency on the true financial health of all state-funded public pensions! Gotta make them solvent!
  • Sign a bill to stop your city from holding tax-raising special elections you don't hear about! We'll move them to Election Day so you can vote against tax increases![3]
