Serving #AR3 is the greatest honor of my life. I will continue to advance policies in the district's best interest and deliver meaningful results to improve the quality of life for Arkansans.
My top priority is taking care of the needs of #AR3. If you or a family member ever need assistance, please contact my office at https://t.co/vh4yUyc3wp.
One of my greatest honors as a Member of Congress is nominating students from my district to attend our nation's esteemed service academies. This fall, the Third District will have 18 students start their journey, as well as ten 2026 graduates entering their respective services. I congratulated these young leaders at my annual Send-Off Picnic and wish them all well as they embark on their next chapter.
Mill Branch Park in Goshen is adding acres, and I helped celebrate the park’s new land and upgrades today. In Fiscal Year 2023, I secured $880,000 through the appropriations process to support the park’s expansion, and I was glad to see how this investment has made a difference.
Last night, I had the opportunity to recognize one of my longtime friends, Randy Massanelli, at a celebration for his retirement after a long and successful career at the University of Arkansas. I was honored to share a few words about Randy and his incredible work at the U of A. Congratulations, Randy, on closing this chapter and beginning a new one!
I just wrapped up a podcast interview with Bentonville Chamber President Brandom Gengelbach where we discussed my work on the House Appropriations Committee and what business leaders need to know. Be on the lookout for our conversation on the Bentonville Beacon podcast, coming soon.
I enjoyed spending time with the Sheep Dog Impact Assistance team at their Hamburgers for Heroes event. This national nonprofit is based in Rogers and supports our “Sheep Dogs” or veterans, law enforcement, fire & rescue, and EMS personnel. I am grateful for this organization’s work in our community to help our heroes live their best lives.
I am extremely proud to have secured and voted to advance more than $105.4 million in Community Project Funding for 19 projects in the Third District of Arkansas.
From highway expansion to bridge repairs and water system improvements, these projects address our region’s greatest needs as we rapidly grow and welcome more residents than ever to Northwest Arkansas and the River Valley.
The funding for all 19 projects has been approved by @HouseAppropsGOP and now awaits consideration on the House Floor.
ICYMI, @RazorbackTFXC men’s team took home both the 2026 NCAA Indoor and Outdoor National Championships. Congratulations to Head Coach Doug Case on a remarkable first season leading the team. It was a pleasure to congratulate him in person today!
I had a great lunch at Pizza Den in Mountainburg with Mayor Susan Wilson and Charlie Crook, owner of Meat Hunter Fishing Rods, to discuss how the $4.4 million in federal funding I secured through the appropriations process will improve the water system in Northern Crawford County. There are over 300 residents in this region without access to safe drinking water, and this funding will help change that.
The Bryant family started canning jams and preserves in 1947 and have been at it ever since. Today, I had the chance to see how this Alma-based company produces high-quality pickled foods for major retailers across the country.
In Van Buren, I toured Time Striping’s new office and headquarters. This family-owned company is responsible for many of the pavement markings, guardrails, and signage along our region’s roadways. Their work helps keep us safe on the road and is critical as we expand our transportation infrastructure.
A big thanks to the Berryville Rotary Club for inviting me to speak at today’s meeting. The work we’re doing in Washington has a direct impact back home, and it was valuable to discuss this and more with the Berryville Rotarians.
It was exciting to get a sneak peek of the Berryville Public Library as it gets closer to opening its doors. In Fiscal Year 2023, I secured $1 million dollars to help construct the library through the appropriations process, and I am looking forward to the impact it will make in Carroll County.
I appreciated the chance to catch up with Rob Boaz, President and CEO of Carroll Electric Cooperative Corp, and his team. Together, we discussed the energy resources that power the region and strategies to deliver more affordable, reliable power.
190 years ago today, the Natural State joined the Union! Arkansas has a rich history of opportunity, innovation, and prosperity, and I am proud to call Arkansas’s Third District home. As we celebrate this remarkable milestone in our state's history, I look forward to decades more of Arkansas excellence.
This afternoon, I was proud to help kick off this week’s cattle sale at the Farmers Regional Sale Barn in Hindsville. Owner and manager Ruth Jones and her husband Jim started their operation with the goal of creating a better selling and buying experience for farmers with livestock, and I’d say they are doing a great job.
At the Huntsville Water Department’s recently remodeled office, I heard from their team and from Huntsville Mayor Travis Dotson about the progress of water system improvements made possible by the $3 million in federal funding I secured through the Fiscal Year 2026 appropriations process. This investment will ensure that Huntsville residents and emergency responders have the reliable water supply and pressure they need.
