Our Path Forward

Boone County deserves leadership rooted in service, integrity, and common sense. As a Marine veteran, husband, father, and future teacher, I’m running to protect our families, strengthen our schools, respect taxpayers, honor our veterans, defend our freedoms, and build a future our kids can be proud of. These six pillars guide my work for District 5:

3) Fiscal Responsibility

Boone County families live on a budget—government should too. I’ll fight wasteful spending, push for transparency, protect taxpayers, and cut red tape that slows small businesses and farms. Stewardship of the people’s money isn’t a slogan; it’s a duty.

6) Protecting Liberty & Constitutional Rights

I’ll defend the Second Amendment, safeguard religious freedom, and push back against federal overreach into our homes, churches, and schools. Our rights don’t come from government—they’re protected by it. I’ll stand firm.

1) Safe Communities

Families should feel secure at home, at church, and in our schools. With property crime and dangerous drugs like fentanyl on the rise, I’ll stand with law enforcement to ensure they have the tools, training, and support they need—while expanding recovery programs that break addiction’s grip. Safety is the foundation of opportunity.

4) Veterans & Community Service

Arkansas is home to more than 200,000 veterans who deserve timely care, strong benefits, and real pathways to good jobs. I’ll work to expand rural access to services, encourage veteran hiring, and strengthen mental-health and transition support—leading with the integrity and accountability I learned as a Marine NCO.

2) Strong Families & Education

Parents deserve a real voice in their children’s education, and teachers deserve the support to focus on what matters. Starting in middle school, we should help students discover their strengths, pair them with mentors, and offer elective pathways—trades, finance, civics, healthcare, tech—that lead to real jobs. Let’s get back to basics (reading, math, history, critical thinking) and graduate young people ready for adult life.

5) A Future for the Next Generation

Too many young people leave because they can’t see a future here. I’ll prioritize safe neighborhoods, strong schools, trade and apprenticeship opportunities, small-business growth, and protection for family farms—so our kids can stay, work, and raise their families in Boone County.
