Conservative family values, lower taxes and fiscal responsibility, and a strong national defense are the core pillars of what attracted me to the GOP, and they are what still make the party strong today. I have advocated for conservative issues and worked on conservative campaigns since college.
I am 100% Pro-Life, Pro-Family and Pro-2nd Amendment. Government exists to protect our God-given Constitutional rights so that we can live as free people.
Having worked for some of America’s most successful companies along the way: Ford Motor Company, Procter & Gamble, Sara Lee, and Merck and has run my own consulting business for 15 years, I understand that strong fiscal policies are vital to continuing to grow Arkansas.- Lower Taxes will help families thrive and lead to economic opportunities.
- School Choice will help families make the best educational decisions for each child. It will also help all schools improve.
- Economic Development will help Arkansas utilize its many resources and become the best it can be.
I believe that Arkansas is on the cusp of large economic development. With the right fiscal policies and incentives, we can continue to grow Arkansas give our citizens abundant opportunities to work and thrive.
Born Again by Chuck Colson and To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee are two favorites. They are inspiring books about faith in adversity and standing strong for what is right even when there is pressure to change your values.

Scorecards
A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.
Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
