Arkansas should keep cutting its top individual income tax rate.
Background
Arkansas has lowered its top income tax rate several times since 2023. Further cuts would reduce state revenue that funds schools, prisons and other services.
And every time we cut the top rate for millionaires and billionaires, it gets harder to fund schools, child care, health care and services for our seniors. That's the trade off. Republicans don't want you to see
Arkansas should end its program that pays private school tuition with state funds.
Background
Arkansas's 2023 education law created accounts that families can use for private school tuition and other education costs, and it is expanding to all students. Ending it would stop state payments for private school costs.
As the executive of the state, my department of education will not administer EFA accounts. But what we will do is we will reinvest that money into the public education system because that's where the money should go in the first place.

Arkansas should provide free school lunch to all public school students.
Background
Arkansas now provides free breakfast to all public school students, while lunch is free only for students who qualify by family income. This would make lunch free for every student regardless of income.
Arkansas should build a large new state prison to add bed space.
Background
Arkansas has planned a new prison of about 3,000 beds to address crowding in state facilities. Building it would require several hundred million dollars in state funding.
Arkansas should require adults on Medicaid to meet work requirements.
Background
Arkansas covers low-income adults under Medicaid expansion and has sought federal approval to tie coverage to work or related activities. This would require many adult enrollees to work, study or volunteer to keep coverage.
Our goal is never to take services away from those who need it but to help people stand on their own two feet so they don't have to count on the government.

Arkansas should allow abortion in cases of rape or incest.
Background
Arkansas law bans abortion except to save the life of the patient in a medical emergency. This would add exceptions for pregnancies resulting from rape or incest.

Arkansas should require local jails to hold people when federal immigration agents request it.
Background
Federal immigration agents can ask local jails to hold someone past their release date so agents can take custody. This would make honoring those requests mandatory for all local jails in Arkansas.
SB426 - TO CREATE THE DEFENSE AGAINST CRIMINAL ILLEGALS ACT; AND TO ESTABLISH ENHANCED PENALTIES FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS WHO COMMIT SERIOUS FELONIES INVOLVING VIOLENCE. Nays: 5 ... F. Love
The Defense Against Criminal Illegals Act makes it clear: Arkansas will not tolerate violent, criminal illegals and will do our part to help the Trump administration keep our citizens safe.
