I was born and raised in southeast Arkansas. I spent my childhood learning the value of hard work, hunting deer, riding four-wheelers, shooting firearms, and have a deep love for the outdoors. I was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ as my personal Savior during my youth.
I graduated from Warren High School and attended Ouachita Baptist University, where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. At OBU, I met my wife, Jessie-now mother of our three children and a pediatrician in Harrison.
In 2020, I joined the AR State Police serving in Pulaski County and later in northern Arkansas. During my time with the ASP, I have been honored to receive several distinctions including Pulaski County Officer of the Year and the ASP Life Saver’s Award. I also received two Governor’s Commendation letters—one for apprehending a mobile active shooter after a high-speed pursuit in downtown Little Rock, and another for peacefully resolving a mental health crisis on Interstate 30.
I have seen first-hand the troubles that are facing our nation: illegal immigration, drugs, children without fathers, etc. With the assassination of Charlie Kirk, I realized that I can no longer sit on the political sidelines. After five years of service with AR State Police, I am ready to continue serving my state by taking on a new challenge-confronting entrenched political interests and standing up for the people of Arkansas. I am the true conservative choice on the ballot: 100% Arkansas First. - For too long, federal agencies and the elite have avoided accountability for their corruption. The American people deserve transparency and justice. The events of 2020 surrounding the Covid pandemic must be fully examined and brought to light. The Epstein files and every individual involved must face prosecution. If we cannot maintain sovereignty over our own bodies and protect our children, two very basic and obvious ideas, then America cannot be considered a serious nation. When the law applies only to the working class and not to all levels of society, we do not have justice—we have tyranny. We the people will become nothing more than tax cattle serving the interests of the elite.
- If any bill increases the deficit, I will vote no. I manage my household budget and pay my bills, so I do not understand why Congress cannot do the same. The billions of dollars given annually to foreign countries must stop, and we must end all foreign handouts. Our taxpayers’ money should be focused on providing services here at home, not abroad. Foreign countries are not entitled to the hard work and sacrifices of American citizens. We must first take the plank out of our own eye before we can see clearly to help others.
- We currently have millions of undocumented immigrants in our country taking advantage of our resources. Until every one of them is deported, we should halt all immigration into America. I support an immigration moratorium until we regain full control of our borders and our country. I’m tired of our medical and emergency services being stretched to the limit, and I'm tired of Americans having to compete with outsiders for access to affordable housing, healthcare, education, and jobs. Americans should not have to compete with the world for what is their birthright.
The government should not intrude where it doesn’t belong. Digital privacy is just as vital as physical privacy. With the rise of AI and the expanding surveillance state, we must take a firm stand now before we end up living in a surveillance state nightmare like the United Kingdom. I support the American people’s right to privacy both at home and online. Just as the government doesn’t have a key to the back door of my home, it should not have a back door into my phone. Get a warrant or take a hike.
George Washington and Robert E. Lee were both men who lived lives of service and deeply loved their homes, fighting courageously to defend everything they held dear. They were men of peace who resorted to war only after every peaceful option had been exhausted. They remain true legends—exemplars that all American men should strive to emulate.
-Never forget where you come from.
-Always vote yea or nay with a pure and Christian heart.
-Be always mindful of the people you represent back home.
-Never take for granted the amount of power entrusted to you by the people of your state.
-Aways stay humble before God while serving in a corrupt and vile place such as D.C. I hope one day my children and future grandchildren will look back and say that I always put Arkansas and our people first. As a seventh-generation Arkansan, this piece of dirt is my Holy Land, and I pray the generations that follow me will serve this state with the same tenacity and devotion I do now.
The first historical event I can personally recall was when my uncle and grandfather deployed with the Arkansas National Guard to Saudi Arabia in the late 1990s. That year, we spent a great deal of time with my aunt and grandmother, and we cherished every moment together. We prayed daily for the safe return of our loved ones. I was about six years old at the time.
My first official job was a bag boy at Supervalu. When I turned 16 I couldn’t wait to start making some money to put back towards college. I worked at the Supervalu in Warren Arkansas during the summer until senior year started. Once the school year started I worked for my grandpa who owned a logging company after school.
Growing up with a mild stutter I was told I would never hold a job where I had to speak often. I took that as a challenge in school and was active in student government. Junior year of college I was selected to participate in a NASA backed research grant at Ouachita Baptist University and had to present our research on the Arabidopsis thaliana plant. Later I would join the Arkansas National Guard, work as a counselor, and now a State Trooper where speech is crucial to completing the mission. I may still stumble at times, but I look back and laugh at the advice I was given as a child to never get into public speaking.
Immigration. For too long American’s generosity have been taken advantage of by both is illegal and legal immigration. We are a people, we are not the globe, and no foreigner is entitled to America’s milk and honey.
We desperately need them and I have signed a pledge to enact term limits and get career politicians out of DC. I believe that no US Senator should serve more than 2 terms. Term limits ensure that government corruption is limited. We should be striving to send uncompromised people to D.C. for representation so that the best interests of the people are always the priority.
Each state only has 2 senators and that gives each state an equal voice in the senate. It doesn’t matter how large the population is nor how wealthy they are; the senate gives every state equal footing.
No I don’t. I believe that US Senators who have spent their life on the campaign trail, whether it is their own or someone else’s, is not a good representative of the people nor the everyday struggles that the people go through. We are hungry as Americans for politicians who actually come from the people and are for the people.
I think it is a necessary evil. We should not let the US Government pass bills easily. Passing a bill is a big thing. We should not make it easier to have a bigger, stronger federal government. The filibuster protects both States Rights and whichever party is not in power.
Joseph Raymond McCarthy. To hell or high-water he stood strong on his convictions. Senator McCarthy had a great distrust of many elites in power and believed many were aiding communists to further infiltrate our institutions, and now decades later, he has been proven right.
I would evaluate a judicial nominee on whether he or she is a strict constitutionalist. A nominee must respect the original meaning of the Constitution, not one who makes rulings based on personal views or social trends. They must view the Constitution through the lens of the founding fathers and not modern glasses.
I would try my best to play nice and make friends, but at the end of the day I’m not there for a popularity contest, I’m there for my constituents. As long as the other senators are there to serve the people, we’ll have no problems.
No. We have been compromising for decades. The U.S. is now 38 trillion dollars in debt, overrun by illegals and have special interest groups writing our policies. We cannot keep compromising. Our back is already against a cliff; there is no more ground to give.
I believe that we need to take a deep look into our intelligence agencies and root out any compromised individuals. If our intelligence agencies are more loyal to themselves than the American people, that’s a problem. If our tax dollars made use of men like Epstein, that’s a problem. We claim to be “One nation under God.” If our intelligence agencies aren’t sticking to that they need to be torn down and built back up.
I’d ask the question: Are they qualified, truly genuine, and there for the people to serve the best interests of the tax payers? The appointee must fully align with the America First agenda.
While visiting with folks in Boone County, I heard the heartbreaking story of a Vietnam veteran who lived just outside the county. For months he drove into Harrison every week to stand on the square holding a hand-lettered sign that read, “The VA Kills Vets.” He was desperate to bring attention to the failures he and his brothers had experienced. One day a local reporter finally stopped to listen. In time some Arkansas US Congressmen reached out. One senator in particular did not. That senator never called. The veteran later passed away from cancer and now rests in Heaven with his Savior. This story didn’t just touch me—it made me angry. In what kind of country do we ignore the men who fought for our freedom? In what kind of country is a simple phone call too much to ask of an elected official? If the people of Arkansas send me to the United States Senate, I will never be that senator. Our veterans will always have my ear, my respect, and my fight.
On August 14, 2022, Little Rock was rocked by eleven connected shootings that unfolded across the city in rapid succession. As Trooper Kemp Smith and I were nearing the end of our shift, we made the decision that we weren’t going home until the suspects were in custody—no matter how long it took.While dozens of officers from multiple agencies canvassed the county, another shooting erupted at a south Little Rock gas station, leaving one innocent civilian dead and another wounded. Trusting my instincts and the pattern I’d seen developing, I positioned myself at the Shell station directly across from ASP Headquarters, convinced it would be the next target.Moments after I walked inside, two suspicious individuals began approaching the entrance. The instant they spotted me in uniform in the foyer, they abruptly turned, hurried back to their vehicle, and fled. I initiated pursuit shortly after leaving the gas station. After a tense chase through city streets, I executed a tactical vehicle intervention (TVI), bringing their car to a controlled stop. Following a brief foot chase, three fellow troopers and I took both suspects into custody without a single shot fired.Because of that night’s work, no more innocent lives were lost. I was later honored with a Governor’s Letter of Commendation. I’m proud we brought justice swiftly and safely, but I’m most grateful that the people of Little Rock made it home to their families that night.
