Thank you, Arkansas. I’m so thankful and proud of all of you who joined me on this journey. It’s a difficult path, yet one worth walking together.
Let us continue to lift each other up. Wherever you are in this great state, I will see you again. I love you, Arkansas.

I went with my parents yesterday as they cast their votes for this election. But they didn't come alone; they brought seven generations of Arkansans who passed down values of faith, hope, and hard work that inspired this campaign.

Does Sarah Huckabee Sanders have a plan? Will she close these rural schools? Will this be another version of school consolidation? Will small communities get left behind—again? It's a conversation worth having, and these are questions Arkansans deserve answers to.
Unfortunately, there's still a popular belief that simply making courses available online is enough to attract & retain students. It's not. Quality matters. 2/2 https://t.co/EUTc8l24b8
Who did the responsible, arduous Study that shows it’s a wiser investment to prioritize giving a big, hulking tax cut to those who need it least than to #payARteachers ?
.@JonesForAR is standing with our teachers and a growing bipartisan call to raise teacher pay. Jones rolled out his Teacher Pay Plus Plan with educators in front of historic Central High School.
Still no word from @SarahHuckabee on the #payARteachers issue…
“The governor said there was not support in the Legislature for a teacher salary increase, so he will not include it on the agenda.”
Gov and Speaker met with House Democrats and knew we supported the teacher raise. The opposition is not from Dems.💙

Forced birth in a country with:
—No universal healthcare
—No universal childcare
—No paid family & medical leave
—One of the highest rates of maternal mortality among rich nations
This isn't about "life." It's about control.
.@ASCAtweets partnered with professional organizations to put this one-page letter in today's issue of @USATODAY asking congressional leaders to pass legislation to promote gun safety & increase gun violence research.Thank you for sending this urgent message to elected officials.
Another example of why we need robust accrediting bodies that do their job and hold the line on quality assurance. #Accreditation is often the "last line of defense" in protecting trusting students from low performing #highereducation programs.

The degree to which each state forced SEL to become a “naughty word”, forcing schools to rename it or not-name it at all, is a direct reflection of the state’s commitment level to mental health for all.
