House is back. #HB1982 is up for a vote. Rep. Speaks is explaining all the changes that have been made. #arpx #arleg #FairMapsAR
Lots of discussion about the impact of #HB1982 and what it will do to communities of color. Remember, the two slivers of Pulaski that are being cut out of the 2nd are 65% and 70% nonwhite.

A Thread on Arkansas #COVID19 Vaccination:
In addition to being Surgeon General of Arkansas I am also a practicing Emergency Medicine physician. I do 12 hour shifts in a busy Emergency Department (ED), and have seen many #COVID19 patients during this pandemic. #arpx #ARnews

The low vaccination rate in our state & the rising number of #COVID19 cases has me— and many of my colleagues— concerned.
I realize that people are tired of hearing about #COVID19 , & I also realize that this medical issue has been politicized to browbeat and harangue people towards political ends, but I still believe the people of Arkansas want to know what is happening on the ground.
