Priorities

Will make our lives BETTER

Empowering hardworking Arkansans

Empowering hardworking Arkansans is my mission. We should provide essential funding support for vocational and trade skills training, ensuring that individuals gain the expertise needed to thrive in today's job market and ever growing infrastructure demands.

Programs should also include job placement assistance, helping participants transition smoothly into fulfilling careers. Together, we can build a workforce and brighter future for Arkansas.

Will make our lives BETTER

Standing up for Farmers

Farmers want a market, Not a bailout. Unchecked tarriffs have led to the largest decline of trade between world wide trade partners that have disrupted world markets. A 12 billion dollar bailout is only a fraction of the valuation of lost trade due to markets leaving and now working with other countries.12 billion dollars hardly makes up what was lost and does not guarantee markets will return

Running Against:

Arkansas (3.1 M people)

Arkansas is a beautiful state with great people and incredible potential, cursed with an awful government controlled by corrupt grifters that work for billionaires and big business and fail us on every count. Because of this it ranks near the bottom of every quality-of-life metric imaginable: health, education, crime, you name it.

They want us poor, sick, dumb, and fighting each other, so that we're so busy trying to survive that we can't challenge what they're doing to us.

Connecticut is a state with a similar-sized population that shows us what we could have. It's better on every single metric. Why? Because Connecticut voters elect politicians who actually work for their citizens. Can you imagine what your life would be like if we had similar stats?

Use the dropdown below to compare Arkansas to other states and see how we measure up. Spoiler alert: we're almost always worse. It's time for a change.
