Priorities

NEUTRAL/UNKNOWN

Restoring Trust in Washington

Putting People Before Politics

Jeb believes government should answer to the people — not the other way around. He supports term limits to prevent career politicians from settling in and serving their own interests. Jeb will fight to shine a light on corruption, demand honesty from federal agencies, and ensure every Arkansan has the fair and transparent government they deserve.
starvoters pov: We all want these things, but should this be the priority when our state is poor, sick and hungry?

Empowering Arkansas Families

Faith, Family, and Freedom Come First

Strong families make strong communities. Jeb will support parents’ rights, defend children, protect religious liberty, and promote policies that reflect Arkansas values — not Washington’s agendas.
starvoters pov: This is largely about culture war issues that do nothing to make our everyday lives better. It includes coded language for school vouchers which are a scam. It is unclear what Little is defending children from. Jeb Little doesn't get to decide what Arkansas values are.
NEUTRAL/UNKNOWN

Defending Privacy & Protecting Freedom

Your Rights Don’t End Where Technology Begins

As technology expands, so has the government’s appetite for surveillance. Jeb believes your private life — your home, your phone, your data — belongs to you. He will stand against warrantless monitoring and any backdoor access to personal devices, defending your right to live free from government intrusion.
starvoters pov: This is a good idea, but should this be the priority when our state is poor, sick and hungry?

Securing Our Border

Protecting Arkansas by Protecting America

America cannot be safe or prosperous without a secure border. Jeb will support strong enforcement, an immigration moratorium until order is restored, and policies that relieve the pressure on hospitals, schools, and communities stretched to the limit.
starvoters pov: This is manipulation and fear-mongering, trying to make us afraid of other hardworking people who just want the same thing that we want: a better life for themselves and their families. Billionaires and big business gin up this fear, which some candidates then parrot, in order to distract us from the fact that they are taking all our money and power.

Washington Has Spent Enough

Fiscal Responsibility Shouldn’t Be Optional

Jeb manages his household budget, and he expects Washington to do the same. Foreign countries are not entitled to the hard work and sacrifices of American citizens. He believes taxpayer dollars should be spent where they belong – supporting hardworking Americans here at home first.

Defending the Second Amendment

The Right to Defend Your Family Shall Not Be Infringed

Jeb will always stand up for responsible gun owners and against federal overreach. As a State Trooper, he knows firsthand that criminals don’t follow gun laws — and law-abiding citizens should never be punished for the actions of those who do not.
starvoters pov:
  1. This is fear-mongering.
  2. A child or adolescent is killed with a gun every 2 hours and 48 minutes in the U.S.
  3. Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates in the US are 33 times greater than in Australia and 77 times greater than in Germany.
  4. Arkansas is one of the worst states in the U.S. for violent crime, murder and firearm deaths. This should be an opportunity for some self-reflection.
  5. Thoughts and prayers aren't going to cut it anymore. Gun safety laws save lives.

Jeb Little's campaign website doesn't say anything about addressing the high cost of living, the abysmal state of healthcare in Arkansas, how to deal with our country-leading murder and crime rates, how to deal with the fact that we're the most food-insecure state in the country, or how he would improve our childrens' educations. We don't need someone to fight culture wars while we're poor, sick and hungry. We need someone who will fight to make our everyday lives better.

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.
