Expand all | Collapse all

I am a life-long Arkansan, born and raised in Berryville. I am a teacher, Justice of the Peace, and past Carroll County Republican Chairman. I am a Christian. I am an outdoorsman.
  • I will put people, not government, first. We must invest in the future generation, by leading, teaching, and promoting them.
  • The foundation of our economy in District 6 is agriculture, infrastructure, industry, education, and tourism. We must do everything to protect, promote, and insure these.
  • I am not like other politicians. I care about our people. I am locked-in to the community. It has given so much to me, and I intend to give back to it.
Education, Infrastructure, Agriculture, Industry, and Tourism.
My father. He can do anything and is a hard worker.
One that gave back to the district.
I remember 9/11. I remember the unfolding of Hurrican Katrina in greater detail though.
I worked dirtwork and logging with my father. I did this on and off throughout middle and highschool.
Lord of the Flies. I appreciate the biblical allegory, survival story, and psycho-social commentary/analysis.
Many, the list is endless. Nearly all government officials in Carroll County and its cities.
Education, Infrastructure, Conservation, Agriculture, Industry, and Tourism.
They are incredibly important and we need the utmost in both.
I think it should be easier to get initiatives on the ballot. Something like this: 10% of the state's registered voters signing a petition.
