2022 AR Governor's race: on Budget & Economy


Anthony Bland: Use public policy to attract and create higher paying jobs

In terms of livable wages, Arkansas ranks near the bottom of all states virtually every year, he said. Public policy making must change to attract and create higher paying jobs. "They (Republicans) have older people in their families and they have kids. They deal with these problems every single day. Republican voters know the importance of dealing with these issues and I plan to do that," he said.

Sarah Huckabee Sanders: Phase out income tax; stop exponential growth of government

[On tax & spend]: "We have to begin to phase out our income tax, but we have to do it responsibly. We have to make sure we're prepared to make up that lost revenue," she says. "It's not going to be any one thing, but a collection of things that allow us to do that. And it's going to take a little bit of time to get there. One of the other things we can do is stop the exponential growth of government. As conservatives, we have to be able to reign that in and pass those savings on to the taxpayer."
