Before heading home to Arkansas for the district work period, I was able to host one last night tour of the U.S. Capitol for Arkansans visiting our nation's capital. If you or your family are traveling to D.C. during August, my office would love to work with you on scheduling a…

Cattle farmers from the Natural State and across the country reserve the right to protect their livestock from predatory wildlife like the Black Vulture, which threatens their livelihood and ultimately leads to negative effects on livestock production. Our farmers face enough…
