Rep. Jim Dotson is your conservative Republican candidate for state Senate.

I'm running for State Senate because families in Benton County need a consistent conservative leader fighting for them in Little Rock.

Voters here know I have a proven track record of effective leadership on the issues that matter most. I have been one of the leading conservative voices in the Arkansas House for lowering taxes and cutting government red tape. I've been on the front lines of education reform and making certain that parents have a say in their children's education. I'm a strong defender of our 2nd amendment rights, fighting to protect the sanctity of human life, and preserving religious freedom in Arkansas. I am proud of the fact that Arkansas was just named the most Pro-Life state in the country for the second year in a row, something many of us have worked for a long time to accomplish.

I look forward to continuing that conservative leadership in the State Senate.
