Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

I believe the number one priority is the safety and security of our schools, communities and state. We need to fund public safety better than .02 of every tax dollar.Continue cutting personal and corporate income taxes to provide Arkansans more disposable income and attract major corporations to our state.We need to ensure our rural public schools are not impacted by the Learns Act. Every parent should have the ability to determine how their child is educated. The state needs to make sure there are guard rails in place to prevent fraud waste and abuse of tax dollars intended for our children's education.
