Voters in Conway, Roland, and the Highway 10 corridor west of Little Rock are being offered a choice between an increasingly conservative Republican and a liberal ‘Republican.’ In the last session, Senator Mark Johnson moved considerably to the right, voting correctly on all medical freedom bills except one he missed due to the dedication of the new Petit Jean State Park Visitor Center. His opponent, Representative Spencer Hawks, voted with the democrats against the SAFE Act, which prevents the state from paying for chemical castration of children. After Asa vetoed the bill, Hawks STILL voted with the democrats against the override. He also failed to vote to override Asa’s veto of SB301, returning the unconstitutional Covid fines to small businesses. These are just a couple of examples of how out of touch Spencer Hawks is with conservative Arkansas voters. If you are in District 17, do yourself a favor, and vote for the steady, conservative leadership of Senator Mark Johnson, who receives the formal endorsement of Reopen Arkansas.
