Issue Position: Getting Serious About Infrastructure

Issue Position

Arkansas currently has some of the worst infrastructure in the nation. Many of our bridges are on the verge of collapsing; our cities lack complete sidewalks; we struggle to maintain our county roads; and our wastewater management is less than satisfactory. Infrastructure is the basis of accessibility for safety and health care in our state. If we don't have strong infrastructure, we are lacking in public safety management. Jamie supports finding sustainable funding that will allow us to adequately maintain bridges and roads. She also wants to find innovative methods to provide public transportation in more areas throughout our state. Quality, clean, accessible public transportation is not only the right thing to do, but a necessity for future economic growth and development.
