Congratulations to Brian Evans on his election as Speaker-designate. I'm confident that Rep. Evans will lead the House in a way that prioritizes the needs of Arkansans.
I am continuing to pray for the victims of this weekend’s storms. Arkansans are known for supporting their neighbors in times of need, and once again, we’ve seen communities come together. If you need assistance, this link provides available resources. governor.arkansas.gov/help-arkansas/
We are always thrilled to welcome Arkansas Boys State to the House Chamber. Speaker Brenton Muhammad did an outstanding job as did the delegates from Union County. I expect we will see many of these students leading our state in years to come.
I join my friends, colleagues, and Arkansans across the state in praying for healing for former State Representative and former State Senator Joyce Elliott .
Just returned from Fordyce, where the heartbreak is profound but so is the kindness and strength of Arkansans. Thank you Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders for visiting with law enforcement, first responders, and medical providers who were heroic in the midst of tragedy. Pray for Fordyce.
Honored to speak at the Elec Co-ops of Ark Broadband Event at the Capitol today. High-speed internet is a necessity, not a luxury, and the co-ops and other partners are helping connect our communities.
