Priorities

NEUTRAL/UNKNOWN

Education

We must ensure that education in Arkansas gets the resources and support it needs.
starvoters pov: We agree with the sentiment, but need more details.
NEUTRAL/UNKNOWN

Housing

Every Arkansan should have access to an affordable roof over their head and a pathway to homeownership.

NEUTRAL/UNKNOWN

Hunger

Access to fresh fruits and vegetables, along with reliable food sources, shouldn't break the budget. We can end hunger in Arkansas.
starvoters pov: We agree with the sentiment, but need more details.
NEUTRAL/UNKNOWN

Healthcare

Zip Code should not determine health outcomes for Arkansans—especially for our Grannies and Papaws. We must invest in rural hospitals and communities.

Zack Huffman's campaign website does call out the critical issues facing Arkansans, but is too light on details. For that reason we're rating him UNKNOWN/NEUTRAL.

Arkansas (3.1 M people)

Arkansas is a beautiful state with great people and incredible potential, cursed with an awful government controlled by corrupt grifters that work for billionaires and big business and fail us on every count. Because of this it ranks near the bottom of every quality-of-life metric imaginable: health, education, crime, you name it.

They want us poor, sick, dumb, and fighting each other, so that we're so busy trying to survive that we can't challenge what they're doing to us.

Connecticut is a state with a similar-sized population that shows us what we could have. It's better on every single metric. Why? Because Connecticut voters elect politicians who actually work for their citizens. Can you imagine what your life would be like if we had similar stats?

Use the dropdown below to compare Arkansas to other states and see how we measure up. Spoiler alert: we're almost always worse. It's time for a change.
