CONSERVATIVE REPUBLICAN | SERVICE FIRST | ARKANSAS
BRIT McKENZIE - CANDIDATE
ARKANSAS HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
I am excited to announce my candidacy for the Arkansas State House of Representatives, district 7. I believe our State is at an important inflection point, one where we need conservative leadership, fiscal responsibility, and a fresh perspective to entrenched bureaucratic problems. I firmly believe that the role of the State Legislature is to secure freedom and opportunity for all Arkansans under the constitution and do everything in its power to foster an environment for businesses to flourish.
My convictions are clear: I believe in limiting the size and scale of government, period. More importantly, as your Representative I will focus all my time, attention and efforts to ensuring that Arkansas is open for business, and that your legislature goes to work to support growing the economy, supporting small businesses and ensuring government gets out of the way of business owners so all Arkansans have access to good, high-paying jobs.
MEET BRIT
I am a Rogers native, and have been fortunate to call this town and this county my home. I have been a life-long conservative Republican, and my life of public service began when I started my career as a Legislative Aide on Capitol Hill, and transitioned to working for the Republican Party of Virginia, the Republican National Committee and managing numerous campaigns for local, constitutional, and state-wide offices across the country.
I have spent the last 6 years working in the marketing and advertising industry, and I am currently a Brand Manager at Walmart Inc. I am the fortunate husband of my college sweetheart, and father of twin 2-year-olds. We are parishioners at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Rogers.
THE ISSUES
CLICK ON AN ISSUE BELOW TO SEE WHERE BRIT STANDS
-
ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT & HIGHER PAYING JOBSArkansas' economy has suffered enough over the last two years of this global pandemic while our neighboring states are making themselves more competitive in terms of business development and lessen tax burdens on their citizens. We need leadership in our Legislature that understands more government is not the answer to creating a diverse wide ranging economy, rather we should be fostering economic opportunity through economic enrichment zones, job creation tax incentives and cutting bureaucratic red tape. I am proud to work in the business and retailer community in NWA, and I have seen first-hand that entrepreneurship will be responsible for unleashing Arkansas' greatest potential and unlocking better, higher-paying jobs.
-
EDUCATIONParents should feel empowered to lead the charge when making decisions about what students are taught and how they are taught. Moreover, I am a firm believer that education funding and support dollars should follow students, and not programs or bureaucracy.
-
TAXES AND GOVERNMENT OVER-REGULATIONI believe that our government should aim to always accomplish one central goal: to serve the people of Arkansas. I think that Arkansans are better served when our government is in the business of removing barriers as opposed to creating them. Arkansas must remain a competitive state for people who want to start a business, develop ideas, and grow the economy. Our elected officials must do everything to eliminate the State Income tax, and I will work tirelessly to ensure that Arkansans have more take home pay, and build their lives and their families in the Natural State.
-
PROTECTING THE UNBORNMy faith teaches me that all life is a precious gift from God and that the life of an unborn child begins at conception. I will always be a staunch advocate of protecting the unborn in the legislature.
-
2ND AMENDMENTAs an avid outdoorsman, hunter and gun-owner I understand and appreciate that gun ownership is fundamental to the history and heritage of people all across Arkansas. As your next Representative, I will ensure that our government does not diminish your constitutional right to keep and bear arms, or your ability to protect your family or property.
