Issue Position: Champion for Youth

Issue Position

Jamie specializes in providing outlets and resources for underserved youth. As the Director of Pulaski County Youth Services, she has worked to provide drug prevention, leadership development, and academic enrichment programs to children. These services partner with nonprofit organizations and faith communities to provide after-school programs, ACT prep, and tutoring services that work to build financial literacy, job skills, and self-esteem. Jamie wants to continue to invest in children in District 37 and across Arkansas. By supporting legislation like Arkansas' Safeguards for Children in Foster Care Act, Jamie wants to ensure children in our foster care system are not defined by their circumstance but rather succeed and are treated with dignity and care. All children in Arkansas should feel accepted, safe, and free from discrimination.
