Having a roof over my head.
The legislative chambers in Arkansas, the State Senate and House, are great legislative entities responsible for a fraction of democratic balance and delegation over the state's function. Honestly I don't recognize a difference, more so a similar problem between the two. Out of 130 (30 Senate + 100 House) members of both legislative bodies. Less than 4 are under 30. That's an issue within both bodies of chamber that is impeding on the growth of this state.
Yes, but EVERY legislative voice does NOT have to come from that specific pool of experience.
Going into 2020. The biggest issues will be economic investment and preventing state concentration of whatever investments do come through.
It definitely needs to stop being party influenced.

The ideal relationship between the Governor and legislature is that: (1) communication should be as consistent and transparent, (2) legislation should be as thoroughly considered; (3) the concerns for the poorest in the state needs to be top priority in the relationship between the two.

These ideas of state government functioning between the Governor and state legislature needs to the standard described above regardless of which party controls what.
Yes. Without a relationship, how will the men and women who I will sit in that room with, understand the struggles and perseverance of my presence in that room? In what way can I identify with the needs of their district without developing a relationship, and I cannot stress this enough bipartisanship is the only way to strengthen legislative abilities to prosper the state, so why not build relationships. It's the only way to build the state.

Every black legislature that ever made it in Arkansas.
Yes. Who knows. If I win. I could put in 2 good terms before Tom Cotton's seat is up.
Too many right now to type. This is quite a long resume to submit. I do, but I would rather talk about it, rather than type it.
