I'm not afraid to stand up for what is right...
I am a Constitutional Conservative. Although I closely align with the Republican Party values, I am running as an independent candidate. The reason is because I refuse to "pay to play" with the Republican Party of Arkansas. The filing fees are $3,000 to run as a Republican for State Representative, $7,500 for State Senator, and for other state level offices cost $20,000. In my opinion it is ridiculous and is what is wrong with politics today; representation should not be about who has the most money. Just because one claims to be a Republican, doesn't mean they are conservative. I will stand up and do what is right for the PEOPLE of District 89.
Here is where I stand on a few of the issues:
1. I am Pro-life- I believe life comes from our Creator and begins at conception. If elected I will continue to support Pro-life legislation.
2. I am Pro 2nd Amendment- I believe strongly in the right to defend your family and property. If elected I will continue to support our right to keep and bear arms and that it shall not be infringed.
3. I am for small government that is accountable to the people- The government should work FOR the people. As President Abraham Lincolin said "GOVERNMENT OF THE PEOPLE, BY THE PEOPLE, FOR THE PEOPLE."
4. I am for lowering taxes- Hard working Arkansans are taxed to death. We need to continue to reform our tax laws to allow Arkansans to keep more of their hard-earned money especially with record tax surplus the last several years.
5. I strongly support our Military, Police, Firefighters, and all Emergency Responders.
6. I stand for government transparency and support our FOIA laws- I am for total government transparency and stand by our FOIA laws. I believe taxpayers should know exactly where their taxes are being spent. It's a matter of accountability regardless of political party.
7. I will continue to support our public schools and listen to our educators, administrators, and the parents. The majority of schools in Arkansas and District 89 are small rural schools.
8. I am against unlawful government overreach such as the mandatory lockdowns during COVID.
