Increased Our Cost of Living

Food, rent, electricity, healthcare - in America we should be able to afford these basic necessities of life without going bankrupt.

Steve Womack has supported the current administration's tariffs and other policies which have led to:
  • Half of all Americans struggling to afford groceries
  • 47% struggling to afford their utility bills
  • 47% struggling to afford healthcare
  • 48% struggling to afford housing
  • 1 in 4 Americans saying they have skipped a medical checkup due to affordability
  • 23% skipping a prescription dose

We are feeling this directly in our wallets. What is Steve Womack doing about that? Making things worse. We deserve better.

Reduced Our Access to Healthcare

We all deserve access to quality healthcare so we can live healthy and productive lives.

Steve Womack disagrees:
  • He voted to cut more than $1 trillion in federal health care and food assistance as part of the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act"
  • He voted to let ACA tax credits expire, increasing health costs for millions of Americans, driving many of them to switch to cheaper plans or abandon health insurance coverage altogether. And the less people there are with coverage, the higher the rest of our premiums will be.
  • He wants to repeal the ACA, reduce Medicare and Medicaid spending, and add work requirements to Medicaid.

We need healthcare to live. Literally. What is Steve Womack doing to help us? Making things worse. We deserve better.

Cut Taxes for the Rich

We all need to pay our fair share to the government so it can provide the services that benefit all of us.

But billionaires in the U.S. pay a smaller tax rate than most teachers and nurses. That's not fair.
  • The wealthiest 400 billionaire families in the U.S. paid an average federal individual tax rate of just 8.2 percent. For comparison, the average American taxpayer in the same year paid 13 percent.
  • The 25 richest Americans paid $13.6 billion in taxes from 2014-2018 — a "true" tax rate of just 3.4 percent on $401 billion of income.
  • 23 of the largest and most profitable companies in the US paid no federal corporate income taxes from 2018-2022. And 109 corporations paid zero federal tax in at least one of those years.

Steve Womack is on the side of the billionaires and big business. The "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that he supported will reduce taxes for the top 1 percent of taxpayers by more than $1 trillion over the next decade, while raising taxes for the poorest Americans. We deserve better.

Rolled Back Environmental Protections

We all deserve clean air, clean water, and a healthy planet to live on.

Steve Womack has supported the repealing and rolling back of environmental protections and climate change regulations, all so that billionaires and big business can plunder natural resources and destroy our environment in the name of profit.

EPA Pollution EPA Climate Change We're all going to pay the price for this with increased rates of asthma, cancer, and premature deaths. We deserve better.

Cut Access to Food Programs for the Poor

I think we can all agree that nobody in America, the richest country in the world, should go hungry.

Steve Womack disagrees. He supported the "One Big Beautiful Bill Act" that dramatically cuts funding for SNAP, and the people that need food assistance most.

Here in Arkansas — which has the highest food insecurity rate in the country1 in 4 kids faces hunger every day.
  • About 39% of SNAP participants are children, and 20% are elderly
  • 41.7 million Americans receive SNAP benefits every month

SNAP stats
Steve Womack doesn't care if we go hungry. We deserve better.

Destroyed Jobs

A good job where we can make a living to support our families, own a home, and have a good life. That's the American Dream.

Steve Womack supports policies and an administration that are turning the American Dream into a nightmare.
  • There were 20.8 million layoffs in the U.S. in 2025
  • 55% of employed Americans say they're concerned about losing their jobs
  • The unemployment rate is 4.6%, the highest level since the pandemic
  • In 2025 the U.S. economy averaged just 15,000 jobs added per month, a dramatic decrease from the monthly average of 125,000 the year before Trump took office.
  • Overall employment for workers without college degrees fell by 361,000 jobs from January to September 2025.
  • 58,000 net manufacturing jobs have been lost from April, when the administration announced "Liberation Day" tariffs, to September 2025.

Job losses
We can't live the American Dream without well-paying jobs. Steve Womack doesn't care. We deserve better.

Destroyed Arkansan farmers

Farming is the largest industry in Arkansas, contributing over $24 billion to the Arkansas economy and representing 14% of the state's entire economic output.

Steve Womack has done nothing to stop the tariffs and trade war with China that have decimated Arkansan farmers. He also did nothing to stop the sending of $40 billion of our taxpayer money to Argentina to support our farmers' direct competitors. If Steve Womack isn't going to do anything, why is he even there?

Steve Womack has failed Arkansan farmers. We deserve better.

Worked for Billionaires, Big Business and Outsiders, Not for Us

Our elected officials should work for us, the people.

Steve Womack works for big business. Look at who some of his top funders are:

Steve Womack is funded by big business and outsiders. No wonder He's not doing anything to improve OUR lives. We deserve better.

Let Elon Musk and DOGE Cut Funds from Arkansas

We all want a government that works for us as efficiently and effectively as possible. Unfortunately our government doesn't always work that way, so reform is badly needed. Given how big and complicated the government is, it's a tough problem that needs well-thought out solutions, so that we don't make things worse.

That's not what we got.

Steve Womack stood idly by while billionaire and ketamine-addled chaos monkey Elon Musk and his DOGE goons chainsawed their way through the U.S. government, promising to save the government at least $2 trillion annually in waste, fraud and abuse. Because they had no idea what they were doing and no one to stop them, in the end our government suffered, people suffered, Arkansas suffered, government spending actually went UP and Elon Musk became even richer.

Elon Musk and DOGE:
  • Had access to and exfiltrated (stole) all our sensitive personal information.
  • Kneecapped the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, which had returned over $26 billion to the American people since 2011.
  • Attempted to cut $4 billion in funding for medical research.
  • Will cost the federal government an estimated $500 billion in lost tax revenue (that could pay for programs for us), due to cuts at the IRS.
  • Laid waste to the employees at several government departments, removing their top experts and most skilled practitioners, and making their services less effective for all of us. This badly affected veterans, who make up 30% of the federal workforce.

We'd like to thank you, Steve Womack, for doing absolutely nothing while an unelected South African big tech billionaire took a chainsaw to vital U.S. government functions, cut an estimated $364 million dollars worth of grants and leases from Arkansas, and completely failed to make the government more efficient. We deserve better.

Abdicated His Responsibility

As a member of Congress, part of Steve Womack's job is to act as a check and balance to the executive branch. He and his fellow members of Congress from Arkansas have completely abdicated their responsibility. These spineless cowards are rubber stamping everything the current administration wants to do, no matter how crazy, dangerous or harmful. And we've seen the results. We deserve better.

And while the rest of us have to play by the rules, Steve Womack does not. He asked the president to release his son from prison, and the president did. Do we really think Steve Womack is not going to do anything and everything the president wants now?

We deserve better. Steve Womack's son pardoned

Opposed Common-Sense Gun Safety Laws

We deserve to feel safe in our neighborhoods, schools, and places of worship.

In order to do that, we need to take real steps to prevent gun violence. And despite what we've been told, it is possible to support the 2nd Amendment and support common-sense gun safety laws at the same time. But Steve Womack has opposed bipartisan gun safety laws, while offering meaningless thoughts and prayers every time there's a new mass shooting.

Steve Womack is funded by the NRA, so has opposed bipartisan gun safety laws and is actually trying to expand gun rights, while offering meaningless thoughts and prayers every time there's a new mass shooting.
  • A child or adolescent is killed with a gun every 2 hours and 48 minutes in the U.S.
  • Age-adjusted firearm homicide rates in the U.S. are 33 times greater than in Australia and 77 times greater than in Germany
  • Every day, 125 Americans are killed with guns, and more than 200 are shot and wounded
  • Women in the U.S. are 28 times more likely to be killed with a gun than women in other high-income countries.

Gun violence
Steve Womack is OK with our kids dying, as long as he has his guns. We deserve better.

Wants the Government Control to Control Our Bodies

America is the land of FREEDOM. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom to start a business, freedom to choose your own career path, freedom to make your own medical decisions, freedom to raise your children according to your values, and freedom to pursue happiness. Freedom is what makes America great.

Unless you're a woman and you're making the deeply personal decision about whether to have a baby or not. A decision that will dramatically affect the rest of your life. In that case Steve Womack thinks that your freedom doesn't matter and that the government should get to control your body. That's not freedom, that's tyranny.

Steve Womack:
  • Opposed Roe v. Wade
  • Supported federal efforts to ban abortion
  • Attacked Planned Parenthood throughout his career
  • Opposed efforts to ensure members of the military had access to abortion

Arkansas House of Representatives candidate (and pastor) Robb Ryerse stated it well: "Abortion should remain safe and legal. These are personal decisions best made by patients, their doctors, and their faith — not politicians. You don't have to agree with every decision someone makes to believe they should be free to make it. That's what personal liberty means." Almost 2/3 of Americans agree and believe that abortion should be legal in all or most cases. But Steve Womack thinks he knows better, and doesn't believe that we should have the freedom to make our own decisions. We deserve better.

Is Trying to Take Away Our Voting Power

In America our vote represents our will. It gives us the power to make the change that we want to see in the world.

Unfortunately that's not a sentiment that Steve Womack's billionaire and big business donors can stomach. Because when we have voting power, we use it to make our lives better, and they lose power. Read about all the ways they're trying to take away our voting power on our about page, then come back here.

Steve Womack has opposed legislation to make voting easier while supporting the SAVE Act, which would force every single American citizen to prove their citizenship status in person when registering to vote or updating their voter registration information. For the vast majority of Americans, this would mean presenting a passport or birth certificate at their local election office. This would disenfranchise millions of U.S. citizens: 146 million Americans do not have a passport, and 69 million women who have married do not have a birth certificate that matches their new legal name. Working-class and low-income Americans would also be disproportionately disenfranchised if the bill became law, as the vast majority of these groups do not possess a passport.

Arkansas's state motto is "Regnat Populus" — "The People Rule". But Steve Womack doesn't believe that.

SAVE Act
YOU HAVE POWER. Why else do you think Steve Womack and His bosses are working so hard to take it away? Don't let them. We deserve better.

Supported America's Secret Police Force, ICE

Whether white, black, or brown, we should all be able to live in America and exercise our constitutional rights without fear that law enforcement will turn on us.

But the current administration has created a secret police force that is abusing their power against anyone who stands in their way, U.S. citizen or not. They claim to be going after "the worst of the worst", but are taking daycare workers, day laborers, grandmas and kids who are valued members of our communities. And Steve Womack, staunch defender of the Second Amendment to fight back against government tyranny, is doing absolutely nothing while the government tyrannizes us.
  • ProPublica: They describe the legions of masked immigration officers operating in near-total anonymity on the orders of the president as the crossing of a line that had long set the United States apart from the world's most repressive regimes. ICE, in their view, has become an unfettered and unaccountable national police force.
  • ProPublica: Accosting people outside of their immigration court hearings where they're showing up and trying to do the right thing and then hauling them off to an immigration jail in the middle of the country where they can't access loved ones or speak to counsel. Bands of masked men apprehending people in broad daylight in the streets and hauling them off. Disappearing people to a third country, to a prison where there's a documented record of serious torture and human rights abuse.
  • New York Times: Masked and heavily armed, ICE agents are sent to cities such as Chicago, Los Angeles and Minneapolis to terrorize immigrant communities and brutalize people who challenge their efforts to stop and detain anyone deemed suspicious. To expand its reach, ICE greatly lowered its recruitment standards, effectively enlisting anyone who cares to sign up. To attract new officers, ICE advertises the chance to do violence to people deemed "enemies" of the United States, likening civil immigration enforcement to a war on a dangerous, alien force. The result is an agency whose agents' first recourse appears to be violence or the threat of violence.
  • They are executing American citizens. On January 7, 2026 an ICE agent in Minneapolis murdered an American citizen, a mother of 3, by shooting her in the face as she tried to drive away. Then the killer walked away, and our government lied and tried to gaslight us about what happened. Decent politicians condemned the murder. What did Steve Womack have to say? Nothing.
  • They are executing American citizens: Part 2. On January 24, 2026 ICE agents in Minneapolis murdered an American citizen, a 37 year old ICU nurse, who was filming their activity and trying to help others. Then our government lied and tried to gaslight us about what happened.

If ICE can murder innocent U.S. citizens without repercussions, what could they do to you? ICE is out of control and a danger to us all - no one is safe. What's Steve Womack going to do about it? Absolutely nothing. We deserve better.

Voted for an Unnecessary and Unpopular War in Iran

War destroys human lives, families and innocent people, causes economic ruin, and triggers immense suffering. War should always be the option of last resort.

In order to distract from the Epstein Files, Donald Trump started an illegal war of choice with Iran, and now:

No one wants this war. But Steve Womack supports this madness and voted against the War Powers Resolution that would have stopped it. Does Steve Womack work for Israel or the people of Arkansas? We deserve better.

Avoided His Constituents and Refused to Hold Town Halls

Good leaders meet with their constituents and have town halls where citizens can voice concerns, ask questions, and provide input on policies.

Steve Womack doesn't want to hear what we have to say. He only wants to talk to his rich donors or people who agree with him.

He hasn't held an in-person town hall in 7 years, and now he only holds telephone town halls with pre-screened questions. Because he knows we're not happy with his performance.

Steve Womack is avoiding us because he doesn't care what we think. We deserve better.
