Mike Huckabee

            
             Many Arkansas either see or hear this phrase a number of times throughout his/her day due to the upcoming Arkansas Governor election. I chose Mike Huckabee in the governor's race not because I support his party or his previous experience; I would like to discuss some of the issues he stands for. Aside from his campaign, I would also like to give a brief political background of the candidate and cite his opponent and the issues she supports. .
             Some of the topics on Governor Huckabee's agenda are technology and welfare reform. In his technology concerns, he addresses a new type of government he hopes that will fit into Arkansas economic scheme. He calls this type of government E-Government. E-Government is supposed to make government more accessible. One of the categories on the itinerary is a new and improved system for renewing car tags. Soon Arkansas would have the convenience of renewing car tags and other driver concerns at their local Wal-Mart. As for Welfare-Reform, Mr. Huckabee's record speaks for itself. Arkansas" paychecks to welfare check ratio is the best it has ever been in our states history. .
             Another issue that effects nearly every voter in Arkansas is the better highway campaign. Road construction has erected throughout various roadways all over the state. This construction is an attempt to make for safer driving on our state's highways. Mr. Huckabee's long-term goal is to have one of the smoothest road systems in the country. .
             All together a total of three hundred and eighty miles of roadway will be reconstructed. Governor Huckabee feels that a quality interstate system is vital for Arkansas" ability to attract new business, industry, and jobs. .
             While technology, welfare-reform, and highways are part of the large scope of things, the two major issues Huckabee attacks is schools and health. Arkansas has made great strides in increasing student test scores, for three consecutive years students in Arkansas have increased national test scores.
