Arkansas is fighting back, and our endorsed women are at the forefront of this fight. They're fighting to take back control of our bodies and our lives. They're fighting back against maternal mortality, childhood hunger, and lack of medical and dental care. They're fighting for a better education for our children.
We need change nowl We need to elect them now!
PAWPAC is here to recruit, mentor, and most importantly, financially support these bold women.
PLEASE DON'T WAIT. HELP US TO HELP THEM. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
