Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Husband, father, retired 15-year Air Force veteran, Democratic candidate for Arkansas State Representative District 91.

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?

* Service Before Self
* Voice for the voiceless
* Ally

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

1\. Ending childhood poverty 2\. Strengthening public education 3\. Healthcare for all 4\. Veterans

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity first and foremost and remembering who you serve.

What do you believe are the core responsibilities for someone elected to this office?

Honestly represent the citizens

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

The first historical event I recall growing up was the first Gulf War. When Operation Desert Shield started in 1990, I was 9 years old. I did not understand the significance of the event, but I remember it being important and all over the tv.

What do you perceive to be your state’s greatest challenges over the next decade?

Healthcare and infrastructure. We are a very diverse state with large, rural areas where poverty is rampant. Over the next decade, those rural areas will likely lose access to public services like hospitals and health clinics. With that, the lack of public transportation will make it difficult to access those services for many Arkansans.

What do you believe is the ideal relationship between the governor and the state legislature?

Cooperative. It is my hope that as a state legislator, the governor and I would have the same goals of working for the citizens of my district and the state as a whole.

Do you believe it’s beneficial to build relationships with other legislators? Please explain your answer.

Yes, we have seen the decline of cooperation and compromise and it is my goal to help make government work for the people again.

What process do you favor for redistricting?

I believe redistricting should be an open, transparent process, led by the people and not by elected officials or lobbyists.

If you are not a current legislator, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

\- Military Affairs \- Public Education \- Public Health \- Public Transporation \- Judiciary
