The duties of a state legislator in the Arkansas House of Representatives include proposing, debating, and voting on bills that will amend or become state law. Additional roles include oversight and handling state budget issues. Your job as an Arkansan is to take care of yourself and your family's emotional, spiritual, and financial well-being. My job as a state legislator is make your job less complex.

The state needs to do more in combating our abysmal infant mortality rate. I plan to introduce legislation that will further optimize doulas by increasing travel stipends.
