Americans love acronyms, so it’s only fitting that I use one to describe the principles at the foundation of who I am and what I believe: O.A.T.S. And while I’m not referring to the grain that is of great nutritional value, I am speaking of other values…characteristics that encompass my view of what government should be:
O.A.T.S.: Open. Accountable. Transparent. Sensible.
What if we had an ambassador who believed in us…who knew our strengths…who fought for us each day? That’s what I want to do for this state I love. That’s what I will be for Arkansas as your Secretary of State.
Tomorrow, my son Pat will turn 40 years old! It’s hard to believe he is that old because I haven’t aged that much. Anyway, I want you to be part of the birthday celebration and my gift to him.
Thanks for surfing by our website. It is "our" website because it is designed to be a resource for you and I welcome ideas and input from all corners of the State which will be included on the site. On the site you will find ways to get involved with my campaign, learn about the Secretary of State and your local elected officials, and even register to vote. But most importantly, I hope this website will engage Arkansans in the important issues facing the next Secretary of State.
I moved to Arkansas when I was 3 and it has truly been the Land of Opportunity for my family.
