    Set parties aside for a moment: You’ve got two candidates for governor. One is positive, constantly out in public, engaging with all manner of voters all across Arkansas, and open about their plans; the other is very rarely seen and always negative and divisive. Who do you pick?

    Arkansas has 473,861 K-12 students. At about $5 each, breakfast and lunch for every last one of them would come to about $2.37 million a day, or a little under $422 million for the 178-day academic year. Our legislature just cut state revenue by $500 million.

    Tonight I went to my son’s open house. The cafeteria went over lunch/breakfast costs. For 1 child to eat breakfast & lunch daily= $140/mo. I saw the look of panic in many parents eyes who didn’t realize the free lunch program had ended. Universal free meals @ school must happen.

    KATV (@KATVNews) covered the controversy over plans for a 3,000-bed prison in Franklin County. Residents there are organizing to push back. They've formed an organization, hired an attorney, and are engaging public officials. #ARpx

    Every Democratic lawmaker’s a part of this legislation—both our bill to provide better pay for teachers and our bill to provide better pay for classified staff. We’re in this together. #arleg

    We’re at 449 known cases of Covid-19 here in Arkansas. Six Arkansans are known to have died due to the disease. That’s a case lethality rate of 1.3 percent. Our Secretary of Health is on record having said that 27 to 45 percent of Arkansans could ultimately be infected. (1/2)

    .@AsaHutchinson, the great Governor of Arkansas, is in a primary tomorrow. He has done an incredible job with a focus on lower taxes, border security, and crime prevention. Asa loves our military and our veterans. I fully endorse Asa for Governor!

    Regardless of how you feel about the Arkansas Abortion Amendment, you should care about how state officials are handling it. Whatever the rules for the process, officials should apply them fairly and consistently to every effort. This piece is worth your time.

    Nearly 60 percent of Arkansans support legalizing marijuana (which is why so many Republicans are trying to keep it off the ballot), and of the majority who want to change our state’s ban on abortion, *92 percent* support making safe access *easier*. #arpx
