I am a veteran that is tired of the path the two dominate parties are on. I have chosen to run because I want to be part of and lead the charge of putting the people and the peoples needs first again and get the nonsense out of the offices. It is time for the parties to work together for the people again.
  • Taxes, With Arkansas bringing in a surplus of 1.6 billion this year it is proof we are over taxed and that does nothing to help the people of this great state.
  • Violent crime, the violent crime has gotten out of hand and needs to be reeled back in and I would like to lead that charge
  • Public Transportation and Infrastructure, this is dear to my heart due to me being a fleet manager. The roads in Arkansas are some of the worst of any state I have ever been to, public transportation is not what it should be as seen with lack of transportation for handicapped ,elderly and homeless
I am passionate about infrastructure, more money for the people and paying the teachers what they deserve, all crime but think something needs to be done to figure out something that can be done since the US holds twenty-five percent of the entire worlds prison population, Non-custodial parent fairness and rights need an entire overhaul and to start with we need to always attempt split custody before one parent only gets the kids on weekends, Abortion I believe needs to be between the parents of the unborn child and the government should not be involved in it.
Integrity is the single most important thing. They are elected by the people to represent the peoples interests and must do so. The people need to be able to trust the elected official will do the right thing even when no-one is looking.
I grew up with the struggle of little money, a handicapped brother, and have worked hard to make sure I have gotten to where I am now. I help people any chance I can and when I have the means to do so. I feel I have a unique understanding of the needs of low income and medium and I can use that to help on the government level.
Loyalty to the people that elected them, Respect for the people and the other officials, Integrity to earn the respect of the people.
I believe one is not much good without the other. I believe the legislature needs to put in the work together to put forth fair policies to send up, the governor needs to have faith in his government to believe this has happened, verify it is what is best for the people and move on from there.
Taxes need to come down. there is a lot that can be done for the homeless to get them on their feet, in jobs, and in homes. With how it currently stands the parties only fighting each other and one party having a super majority is the biggest problem to correct.
I do not. I believe people in the community are the best to have there. People of all types, rich, poor, moderate and all. this is the only way we will get a true version of what is best for all people.
Yes I do. You can not work with others if you are not willing to get to know them. Not all items will be able to be agreed on but we must work toward getting more input from all sides instead of only the fight.
Anything to do with infrastructure for sure.
Yes. I want to use this as a stepping stone to work my way up to the federal side so we can start making a difference there as well.
100% I do. Since the two big parties have decided to only fight each other the people of the state and nation have been put on the back burner. I believe the people will be in a much better place when the government works together and makes them the priority again.
