The duties for Arkansas State Representative are to represent Arkansans at the State level. This means listening to the needs of those who live in my district, while also being aware of the needs of those who live in Arkansas as a whole. To do this the representative would need to be reachable, hold town halls, as well as serve on committees, and help create and vote on laws.
My degree in Government and Politics with a minor in History allows me to have an awareness of what is needed for this position. Aside from my education, I have a variety of experience. Currently working as a school bus driver, I have also worked for non-profits, food service, education, waste management, building supplies, and the Department of Human Services. I feel this experience give me great insight into what most of the people of Arkansas experience. I believe I can best represent those who live and work in District 14.
The goal I would most like to accomplish, would be to give better depth and specificity to the law on abortion in Arkansas. As it is currently written, it leaves terms very broad leading to healthcare providers to withhold care for fear of legality and loss of licenses. To correct this I would push for more detailed language as well as an amendment to allow two medical professionals to sign off on necessary procedures to save the heath, protect future-fertility, and to preserve the life of a woman at an equitable physical and cognitive level prior to the pregnancy.
