Set parties aside for a moment: You’ve got two candidates for governor. One is positive, constantly out in public, engaging with all manner of voters all across Arkansas, and open about their plans; the other is very rarely seen and always negative and divisive.
Who do you pick?
Folks of every shoe size walking a mile for all Arkansans. 👟

Arkansas has 473,861 K-12 students. At about $5 each, breakfast and lunch for every last one of them would come to about $2.37 million a day, or a little under $422 million for the 178-day academic year.
Our legislature just cut state revenue by $500 million.
Tonight I went to my son’s open house. The cafeteria went over lunch/breakfast costs. For 1 child to eat breakfast & lunch daily= $140/mo. I saw the look of panic in many parents eyes who didn’t realize the free lunch program had ended. Universal free meals @ school must happen.

We’re in this together.

Arkansas Democrats filed legislation to give a $10,000 raise to teachers and increase the minimum teacher salary from $36,000 to $50,000 a year.

We’re at 449 known cases of Covid-19 here in Arkansas. Six Arkansans are known to have died due to the disease.
That’s a case lethality rate of 1.3 percent.
Our Secretary of Health is on record having said that 27 to 45 percent of Arkansans could ultimately be infected.

Nearly 60 percent of Arkansans support legalizing marijuana (which is why so many Republicans are trying to keep it off the ballot), and of the majority who want to change our state’s ban on abortion, *92 percent* support making safe access *easier*.

At the low end, that’s about 810,000 Arkansans infected.
A case lethality rate of 1.3 percent would mean 10,530 deaths—roughly the entire population of Arkadelphia.
This isn’t the flu.
It’s on all of us to help slow and reduce the spread of Covid-19.

“Hitting” Is doing some heavy work here masking the brutality of the beating captured in the video, but regardless: There are good reasons why a lot of people don’t necessarily see adding SROs to school campuses as the best approach to improving safety.
Three Arkansas law enforcement officers have been suspended following social media outrage over a video that appeared to show two deputies and an officer hitting a suspect under arrest.

Abolish the death penalty.
George Stinney Jr., age 14 was an African-American child convicted of murdering two white girls. He was executed by electric chair weighing just 90 pounds.
Years later his conviction was overturned. He’s the youngest American to be to be executed.

Look, if Trader Joe’s is finally going to come to Arkansas, it should come to Fayetteville. We’re home to the state’s flagship campus, we’re the fastest-growing city in the state, and we’re the third-largest (and possibly soon-to-be-second-largest) city in the state.

With Fayetteville now on its fourth-straight snow day and fifth snow day of the academic year, a lot of parents have reached out to ask why alternate method of instruction (AMI) days are no longer a thing for public schools.

If only there were data-proven ways to attract and retain more teachers, like, I dunno, raising our state’s teacher salaries so that they’re not among the lowest in the country.
That was quick. State education department seeks emergency rule on teacher licensure because of teacher shortage. Loosening the requirements. Not good at all. - Arkansas Times

A few more thoughts:
• Filing fees shouldn’t be thought of as fundraising
• Reducing fees isn’t taking money from the party; it’s allowing candidates to keep resources
• No one expects drastic change
• People who care about the party need to contribute to the party
