Leslie Rutledge

Criminal Justice / Public Safety I have made an ironclad commitment NEVER to defund Arkansas law enforcement agencies police. Economy As we emerge from this pandemic, I promise to continue to provide relief to stabilize, foster, and grow Arkansas’s small businesses. Defense / Veterans Our veterans and service members have given much for our nation so that we may be the land of the free, and we must ensure our brave have a place to call home. Guns Constitutional rights do not stop at state lines -- I will fight to secure my fellow Americans’ rights to bear arms just as vigorously as I protect Arkansans. Drug Policy I have taken opioid manufacturers to court, introduced education programs to stop yet another generation from falling into the crisis, and worked with law enforcement to collect old or unused opioids. Abortion / Contraception We have fought hard over the past seven years, and I will ensure our pro-life and pro-family values remain protected from assaults from the far-left.
