Get StartedI want us to focus on preventing unplanned pregnancies and we know how to do that: with healthcare, access to affordable birth control, and sex education. I respect a woman’s right to choose. Learn more
I support policies that protect vulnerable populations and do not discriminate against people because of skin color, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, nationality, religion or disability status. This includes supporting a true Hate Crimes Bill. Learn more
Our criminal justice system is clunky, and it isn’t working to help people get back on their feet. While trying to help teens in my care navigate legal hurdles and broken systems, with odds stacked against them, I realized we all need an advocate in our corner. Learn more
Yes, I’m also for legalizing marijuana. The majority of Arkansans are for legalization. We need to stop wasting time and resources on arrests for minor drug charges; the state could legalize, tax it, and use those funds to help people! Learn more
We need to be fully funding education and giving our teachers the resources they need to succeed. I would love to see a universal pre-k program that sets kids and families up for success.

One particular issue I’ve seen as a foster parent is the need for greater access to rehab facilities - this is a real issue and one that often comes up during emergency situations. ERs are not equipped to help a person dealing with addiction, but rehab wait times and lack of services are huge barriers to treatment. I want people who are seeking help, to be able to access it and get back on their feet. Learn more
I want to raise awareness of the issues families face, and work with experts across the state, so we can make sure every family has what they need to thrive. I want to see us reunite more families, and keep more families together in the first place, because no one should ever be separated from their family because of poverty. Learn more
Right now we have surplus funds that we could be using to boost small businesses and families impacted by the pandemic. Tax cuts that benefit every day Arkansans would boost the economy, but millionaires don’t need tax cuts to spend money. We. Learn more
