I believe that life begins at conception and that abortion should be avoided at all costs.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Disagree

Arkansas should continue to work towards lowering the state income tax, eventually eliminating it. I would also like to see a reduction in the used car sales tax, eliminating that tax for vehicles purchased at the $10,000 price and under.

As a first time candidate, I'm not familiar with every area of the budget, but I believe that there are savings to be made. My aim would be to increase efficiency in different departments, whether that be through HR, procurement or other such practices. Every state agency should be able to find 5% savings just by looking at efficiencies and comparisons with other states.

Strongly Disagree

The idea of free college is flawed, instead of students paying for their education, the cost is passed on to the tax payer. This doesn't change the cost of college or lower the cost to educate each student. Pursuing free college would only put more burden on our budgets and would have the opposite effect, creating shortages, lowering quality of education. Govt. should be less involved in higher education financing. This would allow private sector competition driving interest rates & cost down.

Strongly Disagree

I do not believe that the government has the right to close churches.

C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary.

I support common sense exemptions concerning specific health conditions and religious/ philosophical beliefs. I am opposed to Joe Biden's vaccine/testing mandates for private businesses with 100 or more employees.

Eradicating islamic terrorism is a constantly moving target that can't be resolved quickly and will require a longer term strategy. One of the first things that is essential, is identifying who the targets and organizations are that would be most valuable to remove in order to eradicate the threat of Islamic terrorism. Continuing our efforts to eliminate leaders in groups like ISIS and others will be essential. Fighting the global terror threat will involve working with several member states, the U.N. and other organizations dedicated to eliminating terror threats around the world. We will also need to continue to provide counter-terrorism assistance to our global partners as well as cutting off the revenue streams for terrorist groups and imposing stronger sanctions to those who would aid and abet terrorist organizations.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree

America is a nation of immigrants but we are also a nation of laws. First and foremost we must secure our southern border. We must stop the lawlessness at the border that politicians from both parties have allowed to happen. We welcome immigrants who want to come to America by following the rules and respecting our laws and who want to assimilate to the values and traditions of American culture.

Strongly Agree

Parents should have the option to choose the best education available for their kids. Parents know what is best for their family, not the government. The quality of a child's education shouldn't be based on a parent's income or zip code. The vast majority of students aways have been and always will be educated by the public school systems, that doesn't mean parents should be forced into that box. Competition is good, more education options will raise the quality of education across our state.

Strongly Agree

A great illustration from WallBuilders displays the importance of faith early in the U.S. Government, on December 4, 1800, Congress approved the use of the Capitol building as a church building. The approval of the Capitol for church was given by both the House and the Senate. Significantly, the Capitol building had been used as a church even for years before it was occupied. Presidents Jefferson through Lincoln, attended church at the Capitol; and it was common practice for Members of Congress.

Strongly Disagree

Strongly Agree

The sanctity of marriage, which was originally ordained by God between one man and one woman, is supposed to endure through sickness and health, for better or for worse, until death separates a couple.

Strongly Disagree

Critical race theory has no place in our school systems whatsoever. I would like to see the legislature pass comprehensive critical race theory bans.

I am an ordained Assemblies of God Minister and I hold to our 16 fundamental truths (found at ag.org), which are - 1. The Scriptures Inspired, 2. The One True God, 3. The Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, 4. The Fall of Man, 5. The Salvation of Man, 6. The Ordinances of the Church, 7. The Baptism in the Holy Spirit, 8. The Initial Physical Evidence of the Baptism in the Holy Spirit, 9. Sanctification, 10. The Church and Its Mission, 11. The Ministry, 12. Divine Healing, 13. The Blessed Hope, 14. The Millennial Reign of Christ, 15. The Final Judgment, 16. The New Heavens and the New Earth In short, I believe that salvation alone is found in Jesus Christ who died as our savior on the cross and was resurrected on the third day. I believe the Holy Bible to be God's inherent and infallible Word. I believe that salvation is available to all who call on the name of the Lord and repent of their sin. My beliefs teach me that life is precious and that God knows each of us before we are even formed in the womb, this is why life must be preserved at all costs and why I'm opposed to abortion. Marriage is a sacred union, designed by God to be between one man and one woman. Education is such an important issue to me, Proverbs 22:6 teaches us that we are to, "raise up a child in the ways they should go, and when they are old, they will not depart from it." I believe that the life of Christ put on full display the value of placing the needs of others ahead of our own. This is why I've done my best to live a life that serves my community, friends and family. I believe that my faith has led me to lead a life of service, which includes: serving in non-profits, volunteer disaster assistance, working in church ministry and other similar areas. I believe that serving in public office is the next step for me to serve above self.

Strongly Disagree

I believe that the legislature did great work with HB1112 which became Act 249 when the Governor signed it.

As a Christian and a Pastor, I believe that racism is sinful and abhorrent and should be opposed in all forms. Our leaders should focus on what unites us as Americans instead of what divides us by class or race.

Strongly Disagree

A) Stricter environmental laws and regulations cost too many jobs and hurt the economy.

Strongly Agree

I believe that good government in Arkansas begins with the election of trustworthy and qualified Conservative Republicans. I believe that government provides citizens with the framework for everyday behavior, protects them from outside interference, and often promotes their well-being and happiness. I believe that we have been endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. The government should defend these rights.

Very Conservative

No.

I stand for religious liberties and I want to see abortion end in Arkansas. I am a small businessman, I will defend small businesses and work towards lowering taxes for hard working Arkansans. I believe strongly in education, we need strong public schools and parents deserve to have a voice in the education of their kids. Critical Race Theory has no place in our education systems. Parents know their children best and will have the best read on what their child needs to succeed in school and what educational options will serve them best. Teachers and Superintendents play a vital role in our schools and the education of the students and I believe everybody should be and in most cases are, working towards what is best for the students. I can make 2 commitments to Arkansans, the first, I will be honest with you as I have been in all areas of my life. If I don't know the answer to a question, I will tell you so and then I will spend time working to find that answer. My second commitment is that I will be available, my phone number and email addresses will not change should I be elected. I will answer calls, respond to voicemails, emails and all other communications to the best of my ability. I believe that Arkansas needs leaders like myself that are focused on the next generation, not the next election.

Strongly Agree

Strongly Disagree

I support and agree with the Arkansas Republican Party Platform statement on the 2nd Amendment which reads, "Without the right to own and bear arms to serve as an individual’s hedge against government overreach and as a means for self-defense in our home, on our property, and of our person, none of our rights and freedoms can be guaranteed."

Strongly Disagree
