Mary B where’s my lucky hat 🐗🐗🐗

Qualifications and why I am the best option: My foundation is my faith and my family, and the work I have done. That life (not politics) has helped prepared me to make important decisions, because I’ve lived the same everyday struggles as the people I’m asking to serve. For the last 7 years I’ve been a Drilling Site Manager overseeing hundreds of millions of dollars' worth of contracts each year. Nearly 24 years in oil and gas has taught me how to lead, I started roughnecking at 18, I was running a crew at 22, managing a rig at 25, and supervising multiple rigs by 30. At 35 I moved to the oil company side. Over more than 20 years of managing people, I’ve worked with thousands of men and women from all over the world. That work taught me fiscal discipline, how to recruit good people, how to build a plan, and how to get near impossible jobs done. It also taught me how to work hard and still make a workplace worth showing up to, how to learn, teach, stay understanding, and stay passionate. The ground up approach. Some will say I’m not qualified to be governor. I’m the only candidate in this race with no political ambitions, also the only one who has never lived off of the government. I’m running to be an honest public servant, and I’m ready to work for you. I have proven over the last 2 years that I will fight for the people and I will fight the waste, fraud and abuse in state government. I’m running as the Libertarian candidate for Governor of Arkansas because it is the party of moral principles. I grew up in Cecil, Arkansas, and loved that community enough that nearly 23 years ago I bought a house there. I married Elizabeth Burt Shelby in 2006. We have three children: Riley (23), Cooper (21), and Truett (10). I’ve attended the same church for over 30 years. About 10 years ago we started buying land for a dream farm. Today we run cattle on 240 acres and lease another 500 acres where we bale hay. I love my job and I love my farm, but I am willing to sacrifice leaving all of this for 4 years to secure the future for our beautiful Arkansas.

Counties across Arkansas are pushing back hard against massive data centers that threaten our water, land, power grid, and the Natural State's resources. And LEARNS continues to face growing pains and fiscal strain as the Education Freedom Accounts expand. Let these two words sink in: Regnat Populus—"The People Rule. "Arkansas belongs to its citizens, not unelected authorities or top-down overreach. Time to listen to the people, protect our constitution, and prioritize sustainable growth that doesn't sacrifice what makes our state special.@SarahHuckabee has lost so much ground to government overreach—and the people of Arkansas are winning because of it. The proposed Northwest Arkansas Regional Industrial Development Authority (IDA) was rejected by Benton, Washington, and Madison counties over legitimate fears of unelected boards wielding eminent domain, tax breaks that shortchange schools and locals, and overriding community zoning. The Board of Corrections (BOC) fight highlighted real separation-of-powers issues. Even if temporary appointees shifted control, the underlying constitutional questions remain serious and demand respect for Amendment 33—not just political maneuvering. @AGTimGriffin and the DUAL Careers in the executive branch. @JBarkerAR 1.On October 31, 2024, Governor Sarah Sanders announced the purchase of an 815-acre property in Franklin County, Arkansas, for the purpose of constructing a new correctional facility. 2.
