U.S. Senator proudly serving the state of Arkansas.

Joined November 2012
Contraband cellphones allow dangerous prisoners to continue criminal activity behind bars, threatening correctional officers and the public. I joined @SenTomCotton and @BrendanCarrFCC today to announce that the @FCC will vote November 19 on rules allowing correctional facilities to jam these illegal devices. The FCC's upcoming vote represents an important step toward giving correctional facilities the ability to shut down these illegal communications and keep our communities safe. tinyurl.com/45z33948 #arnews

Contraband cellphones threaten everyone from law-abiding Arkansans to law enforcement officers. I commend @BrendanCarrFCC for taking an important step to jam these dangerous devices. Congress should pass my Cellphone Jamming Reform Act to codify this effort and protect Arkansans.

From tunnels and bridges to the electric grid, Bekaert’s steel products are critical to our daily lives. Great to visit with the Arkansans working at their Van Buren plant.

America is safer today thanks to tough-on-crime policies that put Americans’ safety first. Democrats will undo this historic progress by defunding the police and abolishing prisons.  washingtonexaminer.com/news/…

Pine Bluff Arsenal has great potential, just like it has a great past. The new gate complex is a step in the right direction to bring more jobs and investment to the region.

L3Harris’s new solid rocket motor production facility in Camden is a welcome investment that further proves Arkansas is the defense capital of America.   I’m pleased to have worked with our congressional delegation, @SarahHuckabee, and @USArmy to help bring this project to our state.

Great to be in Jefferson County to celebrate the groundbreaking for a new main access facility and gate at Pine Bluff Arsenal. This installation is an important part of Arkansas’s national defense contributions and supports the local economy. It’s taken years of hard work and collaboration with @SenTomCotton, @RepWesterman, and local leaders to get this project authorized and funded. The new Access Control Point will strengthen security, improve efficiency and help position the Arsenal for future growth. I’ve been proud to champion PBA with our delegation, and this progress is a great start to its next exciting chapter.

Today’s groundbreaking at the Plainview Access Control Point is the result of years of cooperation between Arkansans who agree that investing in Pine Bluff Arsenal is good for our state and our national security.   Proud to have worked with @JohnBoozman, @RepWesterman, and local leaders to secure this investment, which will bring more jobs and growth to the region.

Throughout his career, Judge Shepherd has handled a wide range of cases with an exceptional track record of upholding the rule of law, preserving public safety, and keeping crime out of our state.   I was proud to support Judge Shepherd’s confirmation in the Senate and honored to attend his investiture in El Dorado this afternoon.

When Arkansas wins, America wins. Private sector investments in Camden will keep our country safe and create more high-paying jobs in Arkansas.
