We still have tremendous work ahead of us to ensure that women have equal opportunities in the workplace and in our society.

If we invest in the American people, the American people always bring this Nation a good return.

Voters must have faith in the electoral process for our democracy to succeed.

Spending and tax cut decisions must be both fiscally responsible and fair to our working families. I believe that fiscal responsibility is the way to create prosperity for America and secure the retirement of America’s seniors.

In Arkansas alone, approximately three quarters of a million people are at risk of going hungry, and one in four children does not get enough to eat, so my goal is to bring awareness to this tragic issue.

We still have tremendous work ahead of us to ensure that women have equal opportunities in the workplace and in our society.

Improving our national intelligence capabilities should remain a top priority and a continual process.
