I have a vision for Arkansas. It’s one where our farmers thrive while putting fresh, healthy, affordable food on the tables of Arkansas families and on the trays in our public school cafeterias. It’s one where Arkansas grows an abundance and sells it to our communities, across America, and around the world. It’s one where we rebuild rural economies, strengthen small businesses, and create opportunities that bring young people home instead of watching them leave. It’s one where every community has access to quality healthcare, strong public schools, and good-paying jobs. It’s one where working families can do more than just survive. They can pay the bills, go out to eat once in a while, take their kids on a beach vacation, and put the gifts they dreamed of under the Christmas tree. Arkansas is an amazing place. We can grow rice, soybeans, corn, cotton, specialty grains, beans, peas, fruits, and vegetables. We have hardworking people, fertile land, abundant water, and communities that know how to solve problems together. We don’t have to settle for being at the bottom of every list. We can feed ourselves. We can feed our nation. We can build things again. We can create opportunity again. I believe Arkansas can become the best place in America to raise a family, start a business, and build a life. That’s the Arkansas I’m fighting for.

We will remember in November.

This isn’t business as usual. When I say we’re flipping the table, I mean we are done with the zero-sum game where politicians get richer from stock trades, book deals, cable news appearances, and corporate PAC money while our farms close, our hospitals disappear, and our families fall further behind. We aren’t playing by D.C.’s rules. Not the Democrats’. Not the Republicans’. Arkansans will be in charge, because what doesn’t work for Arkansas doesn’t work for me. This campaign is different because it belongs to the people. We’ve tried it the other way. It didn’t work. So we are going to do it differently. This is our time now.

Hebrews tells us that faith is having conviction in what we cannot see. It’s easy to see the challenges facing Arkansas. It’s harder to see the possibility, but I do. I will fight everyday to make Arkansas one of the healthiest and most prosperous states in the country. Send me to the U.S. Senate on behalf of Arkansas. Let’s vote and believe in what Arkansas could be. Early Voting: Feb 17th Primary Election Day: Mar 3rd
