Arkansas Belongs to Its People — Not to Big Corporations
Arkansas was built by hardworking people — families, farmers, and small business owners who believed that if you worked hard and did right, you could build something lasting. But over time, we’ve watched a handful of massive corporations tighten their grip on nearly every part of our lives. They control our food supply, our utilities,…

Standing Strong for Small Business
Small businesses are the backbone of Boone County and the heart of our community. From the mom-and-pop shops on our town square to the family-owned restaurants, service providers, and local farms, these businesses create jobs, keep money in our community, and preserve the values that make Harrison and District 5 strong. As your candidate for…

Abolishing Abortion: Standing for Life Without Compromise
One of the most important issues of our time is the value of human life. As a follower of Christ, I believe that every life is created by God, in His image, with purpose and dignity. From the very moment of conception, a child is not a “potential life,” but a living human being. For…

My Standpoint on the Second Amendment
The Second Amendment is not optional. It is not a privilege handed down by politicians. It is a God-given right, recognized by our Founders, and guaranteed by the Constitution. The Second Amendment of the United States Constitution is clear and uncompromising: “A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the…

My Thoughts on Recreational Marijuana Use
Marijuana is one of the most debated issues in Arkansas and across the nation. As voters and lawmakers, we must balance compassion for patients with responsibility to our communities. I have been clear in supporting medical marijuana. For many patients — including veterans with PTSD, cancer patients undergoing treatment, and those with chronic pain —…

Medical Marijuana & Your Rights
Arkansas voters approved medical marijuana because we recognize that families, veterans, and patients deserve safe options for relief from pain, PTSD, cancer treatments, and other serious health conditions. But here’s the problem: under federal law, medical marijuana is still treated as a Schedule I controlled substance — the same as heroin. That outdated classification forces…

Veterans & Community Service: Honoring Sacrifice, Leading with Integrity
I proudly served in the United States Marine Corps as a Non-Commissioned Officer and aircraft mechanic on the MV-22 Osprey. My role was about more than turning wrenches — it was about protecting lives. Every bolt I tightened, every inspection I signed off on, could mean the difference between a safe flight and disaster. On top…

Fiscal Responsibility: Stewardship of the People’s Money
Every family in Boone County understands the importance of living within a budget. We balance checkbooks, plan for emergencies, and stretch our paychecks to make sure our children are cared for. Yet government at every level often forgets this basic principle. As someone who teaches financial stewardship rooted in biblical values, I believe leaders should…

Strong Families & Education: Building a Future Here at Home
Strong families are the foundation of strong communities. As a husband, father of two, and a future teacher, I know how critical it is that our schools prepare students for real life — and that parents are given a voice in their child’s education. A Better Path: Curriculum That Prepares, Not Pressures Many high school…

Why Drugs and Crime Are an Important Fight
In Boone County and across Arkansas, one issue continues to rise to the top of every conversation with families, teachers, business owners, and law enforcement: the fight against drugs and crime. While our community is strong and resilient, the reality is that addiction, property crime, and drug trafficking are taking a toll on our neighborhoods. If…
