Congratulations to Nathan Anonick, a trusted advisor, on being nominated to serve as a commissioner at the @CFTC. His hard work and insight have been invaluable to the committee and my service to Arkansans. I am confident he will bring that same dedication to this important role.

The Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act (BAAJA) is one step closer to becoming law.
A complete overhaul of the federal permitting system will save American manufacturers billions, keep America competitive, and lower costs.
Our farmers and ranchers need the certainty and support that only Farm Bill 2.0 can provide. From strengthening the farm safety net to investing in rural communities, this legislation is critical to the future of Arkansas agriculture. It’s time to get it across the finish line.
Together, we're reaching higher for Arkansas.
A great visit in D.C. with Sen. @JohnBoozman, @rep_stevewomack & @RepWesterman. These partnerships with our state's federal delegation help fuel innovation, drive economic growth & shape a brighter future in Arkansas. #uark
When we delivered critical funding to establish @LyonCollegeSoDM, the goal was to ensure more Arkansans have access to dental services.
I’m especially pleased to see it coming to fruition for Natural State veterans as we mark #VeteransDay.

From serving our country in uniform to caring for our land, veterans continue to make a difference. Programs like #ArmedToFarm help connect veterans with the opportunities, resources and community to grow their future in agriculture. Today and every day, we honor their service. #VeteransDay
This Veterans Day, we honor the men and women who answered the call to serve and sacrificed so much to defend our freedoms. We are grateful to those who have worn our nation’s uniform, especially the more than 200,000 veterans who call The Natural State home. Their service must never be forgotten.
Did you know 49% of teens who misuse prescription drugs get them from friends or family?

Data from the National Association of Manufacturers (@ShopFloorNAM) shows that permitting delays are costing America’s manufacturers $12.1 billion every year! That is a staggering amount of development left on the sidelines.
All this has led to lost jobs, missed economic opportunities, and higher prices across America. Passing the Bipartisan American Affordability and Jobs Act could not be more urgent. https://t.co/9j0GHhqmD3
Enjoyed meeting with a group of young Arkansas farmers and ranchers to hear firsthand about the challenges facing our ag industry. Farmers continue to navigate significant economic pressures, making it more important than ever for Congress to pass Farm Bill 2.0, which provides the certainty and support they need. I appreciate their commitment to keeping Arkansas agriculture strong. #ARinDC
America needs power to fuel our economy and keep energy prices low.
But massive projects like Coulee Dam aren’t built in America today because of an outdated permitting system.
Senate Republicans are changing that and lowering your energy costs.
Proud to see an Arkansan serving as DAV’s National Commander. I appreciate Commander Donovan and DAV’s continued partnership and their dedication to strengthening the services and benefits our veterans have earned.
National Commander John Donovan and leadership from DAV Washington Headquarters met with Sen. @JohnBoozman to discuss how we can continue working together through the remaining 119th Congress and our priorities moving forward in the upcoming 120th Congress.
Happy 251st Birthday to the @USMC. For more than two centuries, our Marines have answered the call with unwavering courage, sacrifice and dedication to defending our nation. Semper Fi.
I’m pleased to see Arkansas’s second year Rural Health Transformation Program funding award is almost $208 million.
I know Gov. @SarahHuckabee and her team will be investing in even more innovative approaches to deliver quality care to every Arkansan.

Building for Fort Smith's Future! 💧
Federal, city, state, and tribal officials recently broke ground on the next phase of the Lake Fort Smith Water Transmission Line project.
Thank you, Senator @JohnBoozman, for helping us secure $12 million in federal funds for this project.
That’s a wrap on day one of the ArFB YF&R Committee’s trip to Washington, D.C., advocating on behalf of Arkansas farmers and ranchers. The day included visits with USDA, the American Farm Bureau Federation and the Canadian Embassy, along with meetings with Arkansas Sens. Tom Cotton and John Boozman to discuss the need for a new farm bill.
Great news for Arkansas and our country that the Senate has advanced bipartisan permitting reform. We need to cut the red tape and make it easier to get critical infrastructure projects started.
A strong community is one that makes sure every individual has the opportunity to learn, grow and thrive.
For more than five decades, Toni Wilson Ward has dedicated herself to serving children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families through Stepping Stone School. What began with six children in 1972 has grown to serve more than 400 individuals today.
Her commitment is a powerful example of the difference one person can make in the lives of so many. #VoicesOfArkansas
