I am running for State Senate, District 16. It consists of Saline and part of Pulaski County. When elected, my job will be to pass legislation that impacts and represents the people and businesses in Arkansas including, but not limited to, state budgets, regulatory issues and laws concerning health care, education and protecting individual freedoms and rights.
I have been in private business for over 40 years. During that time, I dealt with corporate budgets, employees, plus tax and regulatory issues in order for my company to grow and prosper. I believe having the knowledge and experience with aspects of a business gives me a unique prospective to see the big picture when dealing with government budgets while providing needed services to our people and businesses.
One of the many things I have heard time and time again when speaking with people during my campaign is the need for their representatives to be responsive, available and accessible. They want to kept informed. That is an easy promise for me to keep and I plan on having bimonthly morning and evening meetings so interested constituents can attend and ask questions.
