Get StartedWe are well past the time when a woman should earn equal pay for doing the same work as a man. The unfortunate reality is that that is not the case, and it’s even worse for women of color. This is unacceptable, and we must change it. Learn more
While the U.S. Represents 4.5% of the world’s population, nearly 25% of the world’s prisoners are behind American bars. Our criminal justice system is broken. Non-violent offenders are in jail for far too long, racial biases persist at every level of the system, and our recidivism rates are unconscionable. We can and must do better. Learn more
We must also work to ensure that American veterans receive not only equal treatment in our society, but that they receive the respect and care that these heroes have earned. Our state must provide job training and job opportunities for veterans, play a meaningful role in veterans’ healthcare, and provide housing when necessary. Learn more
We must also work to create an economic environment that supports families through paid family leave programs and by ensuring that all parents who want or need to work have access to quality child-care programs. Learn more
Every child should be able to attend pre-K. We must support the heroes of our K-12 education system, teachers, so that they can be in the best position to make a difference in their students’ lives. And we have to make post-secondary education, whether college or job training, affordable and accessible to every Arkansan. In the state senate, I will work to make this vision a reality. Learn more

There is no denying humans’ effect on our environment. As residents of the Natural State, we must take this responsibility seriously and set an example for the nation to follow. From fighting the pressing threat of climate change to cleaning up our waterways and air, we must take action to protect our planet, its resources, and beauty. Learn more
We must also take advantage of the unique opportunity we have to generate clean energy here in Arkansas, while working to promote and incentivize all forms of advanced energy, including energy efficiency. These initiatives will protect our environment, stimulate the economy, and create jobs all at the same time. Learn more
We must also address the epidemic of gun violence in our country. If another generation of children goes to school every day with their families fearing for their lives, we will have failed them. We cannot let that happen. Learn more
Every person in Arkansas deserves access to quality, affordable health care. In life, health comes first. Without our health, we can’t work, we can’t support our families, our kids can’t grow and learn, and we can’t live happy or productive lives. That is why I worked hard in the Arkansas House to preserve Medicaid expansion in Arkansas, and why I will work tirelessly to make sure every Arkansan has quality, affordable health coverage.
