Friendly Friday reminder: there’s only two names on the District 58 ballot this year.

If you want the same result as always, you know what to do. If you’d like the incumbent to have to earn it for once, well… that’s also an option. No pressure. (Okay, mild pressure.)

This November there’s no Democrat on the ballot in District 58. It’s the incumbent or me.
If you’re happy with how things are — or you don’t think he should have to earn your vote anymore — the choice is easy. But if you want someone who will actually listen to families, question unnecessary spending, and put people ahead of party, you’ve got an alternative.
If there’s no real opposition on the ballot, there’s no reason for anyone in Little Rock to slow down, explain themselves, or consider whether their decisions are actually helping families here. Your vote is the signal that says the automatic path isn’t good enough. Make sure you’re ready.

Hi all,

It's been another exciting campaign season. I'm nearing the finish line of my third run for public office in 10 years.

This time I chose not to raise money. Frankly, a lot of us are already stretched thin. I didn't want to ask friends and neighbors who are dealing with the costs of one-party control to dig into their pockets for this campaign.

What would actually help is simpler: likes and shares. The more people who see this page, the better chance we have of giving voters in District 58 a real choice this November.

If anything I've said resonates with you, please share it with a neighbor or two. And if you're not already following, a like helps too.

Thank you for your love and encouragement throughout the race.

Shout-out to the officers who show up for the hard calls and treat people like neighbors while they do it.

10/15/2026

Safe neighborhoods matter because our kids should be able to play outside and our families should feel secure.
I appreciate the officers who do the hard work of protecting our community, the ones who respond to real crimes with real victims and keep our streets safer. The ones who show up in our worst hours and display leadership and compassion. We appreciate the officers who keep our rights in mind with every interaction with us. They’re our neighbors too, people with families who show up and do the job well. At the same time, I’m concerned about technologies like Flock cameras that track ordinary people’s movements without a warrant or specific suspicion. Mass surveillance isn’t the same as good policing, and it risks the privacy of law-abiding families. I support our Second Amendment rights and keep the government from overreaching into everyday life.

We can have both safe streets and the freedom to live without constant tracking. That’s the kind of balance District 58 deserves.

District 58 should stay a place where families can raise their kids in peace. That’s the kind of representation I want to give.

My kids’ favorite game right now is “how many snacks can we eat before Mom says something."

State government has a similar hobby with surplus money. I’d rather that extra go back to families who are already stretching every dollar. Just saying.

10/14/2026

Today's economic reports show that the national annual inflation rate has accelerated to 3.7%, driven heavily by a devastating 9.1% surge in gasoline prices in a single month. While Wall Street economists debate interest rates, regular folks and families here in District 58 are the ones feeling the real crush of higher groceries, gas, and electric bills. It all adds up, and too many people I know are stretched completely thin.

The financial pressure isn't just coming from Washington—it's hitting us right at home. Property values in White County have jumped 51% since 2021, meaning our local property tax bills are climbing higher and higher. About 90% of that money already goes to our schools. Here in Searcy, we are truly blessed with well-running schools, but we cannot keep asking families to give up more of their hard-earned income when their household budgets are already at a breaking point.

Meanwhile, the government in Little Rock is hoarding wealth. Arkansas just finished the year with a $655 million surplus and has about $4 billion sitting in reserves.

As your Libertarian candidate, my position is clear: that money does not belong to the state. It should come back to the people who earned it. Returning those tax dollars would provide enough to cover an unexpected car repair, a stressful medical bill, or just a little bit of breathing room for local families trying to get ahead.

I am the only candidate on the ballot in District 58 who will look at every single piece of legislation and ask: “Does this actually help regular people here?” before we allow the government to grow any further. We can take care of what matters in our communities without making life harder for us all.

Parents in District 58 care deeply about their kids’ education — whether that’s our local public schools, homeschooling, or other alternatives that fit their family.
Searcy has a strong public school system, and I’m glad my younger kids are part of it. I also homeschooled in the past, so I’ve seen both sides. What matters most to me is that parents get to decide what works best for their own children. That means protecting the right to homeschool, keeping other options open, and pushing back against more mandates from Little Rock.
I’m not a supporter of the Republican LEARNS Act voucher program. True choice doesn’t require another government-run system with strings attached. Every family is different, and the best approach is one that trusts parents instead of the state picking winners and losers.

What does educational freedom mean to your family?

10/13/2026

Raising kids means constantly deciding what “good education” looks like for your family.

Some days that looks like public school. Some days it looks like something else. The part I care about is parents staying in the driver’s seat instead of the state deciding for everyone. What’s one thing you wish more people understood about how your kids learn?

Milton Friedman remains one of the most important political teachers of my life. I can't recommend Free to Choose strongly enough.
