To represent the people of District 26 in a constitutional and fiscally conservative manner, standing against laws that expand government and eliminating those that restrict liberty.
I have managed businesses for 45 years and have experienced firsthand the negative impact of legislation, bureaucracy, and regulations that can hinder business growth. Our government needs to provide strong support for businesses. I look forward to applying my business experience to create common-sense legislation that fosters a positive environment for businesses.
I will propose legislation to eliminate property taxes for seniors (aged 65 and older) and veterans. I have visited 4,500 doorsteps, and the most common concern I hear is that many people can pay off their homes, yet they still have to pay the state and ongoing annual fees to live there. These individuals have worked hard to achieve the American dream and have contributed to the tax base for years. It is time to acknowledge their property rights.
The impact this will have on local taxation, which funds schools, will need to be compensated for with additional funds from the state level. I also plan to implement cost-cutting measures in spending, similar to the initiatives previously undertaken in Washington.

Arkansas State Senate District 26
To be the voice of the River Valley, Senate District 26 constituents, some 86,000 hard working Arkansans. Duties would include crafting and voting on laws, serving on committees, and advocating for local needs.
For decades, I have worked in government and community relations, driven by a passion for finding practical solutions that genuinely improve the lives of everyday people. These experiences have profoundly shaped my perspective and fueled my commitment to pursing public service.
Working alongside both the utility and eldercare sectors taught me something important: the challenges we face aren’t abstract. They’re about keeping the heat on for families, making sure our parents and grandparents are cared for with dignity, and ensuring local businesses have the support they need to grow.
Opposing the funding for the proposed Franklin County prison site. As your Senator, I would not support it, nor would I vote to fund it. As a fiscal conservative, I cannot support spending $1 billion on a 3,000-bed prison when our state has so many other needs. Our jails are overcrowded so perhaps funding might be better directed toward addressing the mental health crisis. As Senator I’ll work with everyone to find a responsible solution for a new prison in a location that makes sense.

I see the job description as being to support or oppose legislation based on the Constitution, applicable law, and the views of the constituents in my district. Beyond that, advocating for their needs outside of legislation, being their link to the state government, and keeping them apprised of the happenings in Little Rock, while working with local leaders to creatively and collaboratively pursue solutions to the challenges facing the district and the state, are all implied duties. Ultimately, it's an office of service to the people, in any capacity that I'm able to serve.
I'm a small business owner, a farmer, a husband, a father to a toddler, a nonprofit founder, a board member, and a proven, relentless advocate for my community--and I spent over a decade in the legal industry. I've drafted bills, testified in front of the legislature, gone under oath in front of legislative panels, and built relationships on both sides of the aisle and in both chambers of the legislature. All of this gives me not only a unique perspective on the challenges facing my district, but a unique set of qualifications to tackle those challenges.
The first and most easily accomplished goal will be opening access legislative access to the people of the district. I want voters to know how the process works, be able to reach me, understand what my plans are and how I intend to vote on matters pertinent to their everyday lives, and be able to freely participate in the process. It's no secret that our district has a target on its back right now, so the goal will be maximum transparency and accountability in my efforts to ward off government overreach while building and maintaining the relationships needed to ensure the stability and responsible of growth of our district into the future.
