- "But abortion, like so many other complex and complicated moral issues, is far too often not black and white for the women who are put in that heartbreaking position for whatever reasons. And I refuse to presume that I could ever make a choice for another family about an issue that is so deeply intimate and personal. So my answer is this: I wonât answer for someone else."

- "An economist at the Office of Tax Analysis said that an analysis showing that the tax plan will be paid for through economic growth had not been released yet "because one did not exist." You can't prove trickle down when it doesn't trickle down." (twitter.com)
- "The entire Arkansas congressional delegation just voted for a tax bill that will line the pockets of the wealthy. Meanwhile, back home, 17% of our state lives in poverty and 9% have no health insurance." (twitter.com)

- "The entire AR congressional delegation voted for a tax plan that rewards corporations on the backs of working class families. Itâs time to clean house, Arkansas. #ItsOurTomorrow " (twitter.com)
- "Public education in Arkansas and across the United States is under attack. Outside interest groups wishing to profit from education are attempting to funnel taxpayer money from public education into private and charter schools. We must send a clear message that the education of Arkansas children is NOT for sale. Our friends, family, and neighbors who work in public education should be appreciated for the true civil servants they are. Teachers deserve a salary that is the equivalent to the highly valuable service they provide, and students deserve a high quality curriculum written by professionals who work in the field, not by legislators who sit in Washington D.C."

- “I am a proud gun owner, and I believe strongly in the constitutional right of all Arkansans to protect themselves and their family. I also believe there are common sense steps we can take to reduce gun violence. We must provide better education on gun safety storage. We also need universal background checks to prevent criminals and terrorists from gaining access to deadly weapons.” (www.facebook.com)
