Abortion & Reproductive Rights

Climate & Energy
Supports recognizing and responding to climate change impacts on agriculture, promoting conservation and sustainable farming practices, and federal incentives (e.g., in the Farm Bill) to help farmers adopt soil health and water-saving practices. Emphasizes building resilience in rural food systems and increased research to help crops withstand extreme weather while pursuing pragmatic, non‑apocalyptic solutions.
Public Safety & Guns
The campaign emphasizes keeping Arkansas communities safe by supporting local law enforcement and first responders with training, staffing, and mental-health resources, and by investing in community-based crime prevention. The campaign materials do not state specific positions on firearm policy (for example, background checks, assault weapons bans, red flag laws, or concealed-carry rules).
