State Capitol Week in Review
Dear Constituents, this will be my final column as your state Senator. Politics has long been a passion of mine, so it was a dream come true when I was first elected to the legislature eight years ago.
STATE OF ARKANSAS
The 94th General Assembly will convene at noon on Monday, Jan. 9.
State Capitol Week in Review
When the 2023 regular session convenes on January 9, there will be 13 new members in the Arkansas Senate. The legislature is a citizen legislature, and the senators’ occupations reflect the Arkansas economy.
Making a Difference for Veterans
As a son of a Master Sergeant in the Air Force who served for 23 years, I understand the unique challenges veterans and their families experience and how Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) benefits, programs and care are critical for men and women called to serve in our nation’s uniform. This is what drove me to serve on the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee and work with Arkansas veterans and Veterans Service Organizations in our state and nationwide to improve services and benefits veterans earned. Through our collaborative efforts, we’ve made positive reforms and updates to VA care and benefits.
Letter to the Editor:
The holiday season can be very stressful; whether it is trying to find the perfect gifts, family drama, or financial stress, there is a good chance everyone will at least have one moment of stress during the holidays. Unfortunately, this stress also affects those struggling with drugs and alcohol.

From the Mayor:
Thanks to everyone who entered the Christmas lighting contest sponsored by the Village Pride Committee and the Mayor. The displays were fantastic and reflected lots of work by their owners. Cash prizes were awarded for three places in each ward plus citywide businesses. The prize amounts were $100 for first, $75 for second and $50 for third. These lights in addition to the display at Town Center added to our celebration of the season in the city.
