Expand all | Collapse all

I grew up in Benton County, Arkansas, and my family has been in Northwest Arkansas for over six generations. I graduated with a BBA from Baylor University and earned a master's degree in accounting from Rice University. My passion for conservative policy led me to work in Washington, D.C. for Senator Tom Cotton where I learned first-hand the need for conservatives to stand up for what they believe in. I will always promote limited government, free markets and individual liberty.
  • Government should stay out of the way of the innovators, entrepreneurs, and hard-working taxpayers who drive our economy and create new jobs. I will promote job growth policies such as lowering taxes, cutting red tape, and fighting over-regulation of small businesses.
  • I am committed to protecting conservative values. I will support policies that protect the unborn, safeguard the 2nd Amendment, guarantee parental rights in education, and promote religious freedom. I will not shy away from battles with the radical left on these issues. I will always defend our constitutional rights and conservative principles.
  • It is critically important that we have a strong, well-funded public education system in Arkansas. Northwest Arkansas is blessed with great schools and great teachers, and we need to support them. I also believe it’s important for all families to have choices. Not every child learns the same way or has the same needs, and parents – not government – should always be in the driver’s seat when deciding what is best for their children.
As an accountant, I have learned one very basic rule—DON’T SPEND MORE THAN YOU HAVE. We need to prioritize cutting wasteful spending and continue lowering taxes. Cutting taxes and putting more money in people’s pockets will help fuel Arkansas’s economy and grow jobs in our state.
Elected officials must be held to the highest ethical standard and demonstrate integrity and honesty in all they do. They should be committed to principles of limited government. Without intentional restraint, government will continue to grow and become more invasive in people’s personal lives.
As an accountant, I have a unique perspective on the economic challenges facing all Arkansans. I am well versed in finance and budgeting and will use that knowledge in working to reduce the size and scope of government.
I am incredibly honored to have the endorsement of U.S. Senator Tom Cotton.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Arkansas

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
