My entire life has prepared me for this work.
My parents worked to instill in me a passion for politics and civil service. When I turned 18, I didn’t get a new car or anything like that - my parents took me down to the Courthouse so I could register to vote. I thank my parents for that moment — it was a gift that continues to provide meaning in my life and my work.
I’ve served as the Director of the Arkansas Board of Election Commissioners as well as the Chief Administrative Officer of the Delta Regional Authority. At the root of it all, I’m just a kid from Central Arkansas.
