Judge John Thomas Shepherd has worked throughout his career to uphold the rule of law, preserve public safety, and keep crime out of Arkansas.

Relying on our chief adversary for life-saving medicine endangers Arkansans and threatens our national security. My bill would ensure our drugs aren’t produced by companies affiliated with the Chinese Communist Party.

Dangerous, illegal Chinese vapes threaten the health of our children. My bill would increase the penalty on companies that enable Communist China to sell these dangerous devices in American markets.

Our hospitals, power plants, water treatment facilities, and other critical infrastructure sites can’t remain sitting ducks for potential drone attacks. My bill will ensure these important sites are protected from all unauthorized drones.

Pointing out that COVID leaked from a lab in Communist China was never a conspiracy, it was common sense. The conspiracy was Tony Fauci and his assistants doing Xi Jinping’s dirty work and lying about COVID’s origins. I’m thankful that the…

Instead, criminal illegal aliens are reportedly exploiting loopholes to gain permanent legal status.

Congress originally created this program to assist law enforcement with investigating and prosecuting serious crimes.

I write concerning the U visa program that appears to operate as a de facto amnesty program for hundreds of thousands of illegal aliens.

Foreign nationals photographing sensitive military assets are only doing so for one reason, to spy on the United States. My bill would hold these criminals accountable.

We know you share our conviction that allowing strategic vulnerabilities in our mineral supply chains is not an option that the United States can afford.

Lithium is foundational to the precision munitions and advanced weapons systems that underpin American military superiority.

We write seeking clarity about the Department’s prioritization and support of domestic critical mineral supply chains, particularly lithium resources.

Relatives of terrorists have no business being in our country. My bill would revoke visas from family members of terrorists to keep Arkansans safer.

We strongly urge your administration to take decisive action to fully dismantle UNRWA and eliminate it from the UN budget.

I’d like to thank my colleagues for their work on this bill, which will keep America safe and make our intelligence agencies more transparent and efficient.

If we act now, we can minimize the damage and stop this Communist surveillance of our neighborhoods.

That is not competition. That is industrial displacement.

The economic damage is significant.

This is a familiar playbook: Chinese firms enter the United States at subsidized prices, capture market share, and embed themselves into daily American commerce.

They collect detailed data on routes, businesses, and homes while undercutting American competitors on price.

These companies move through American neighborhoods, commercial districts, and roads near critical infrastructure.

I write asking the Department of Justice (DOJ) to review Chinese-controlled last-mile delivery and third-party logistics (3PL) networks.

In the meantime, I support the use of existing authorities to impose sanctions on the PGSA, its officers, and any foreign entity that pays, processes, or facilitates tolls to Iran for passage through the Strait of Hormuz.

I stand ready to work with you and am preparing legislation to further codify your efforts.

The PGSA cannot operate without the consent of other nations, and the United States must ensure every actor enabling the terrorist Iranian regime is held accountable.
