Favorite Quote:

"I always put the people of south Arkansas first. They always trump politics. I helped pass part of the largest tax cut in Arkansas history to bring tax relief to hard working Arkansas families, because it was the right thing to do. And let me promise you this, nobody's going to work harder to bring new jobs here and grow our local economy. I'm asking for your help. Working together we can make this an even better place to live."
