State House 69

1. Abortion: The 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision.
David Ray (Republican)
Oppose
I have a 100% pro-life voting record, and I signed an amicus brief in the U.S. Supreme Court case of Dobbs v. Jackson, asking the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade
2. COVID: Letting private businesses terminate employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.
David Ray (Republican)
Oppose
I voted in favor of HB 1977 to provide common sense exemptions for employer mandates. I oppose President Biden's OSHA and CMS mandates for COVID-19 vaccines. I have been vaccinated against COVID-19, but I believe employers should respect commonsense exemptions related to health as well as religious and philosophical exemptions.
3. Marijuana: Legalizing recreational marijuana in Arkansas.
David Ray (Republican)
Oppose
4. Education: Allowing public funds allocated for the education of a child to be used to pay for an education at any school the parent chooses.
David Ray (Republican)
Support
I believe we need to strongly support our public schools. I also believe that parents (not the government) should be able to decide where and how their children are educated. I support expanding the Succeed Scholarship program as well as the state's tax credit scholarship program.
5. Critical Race Theory: Withholding state funds from any public school that promotes critical race theory.
David Ray (Republican)
Support
Critical race theory has no place in our public schools. I will work to ensure any bill banning critical race theory is comprehensive and has its desired effect.
6. Elections: Requiring absentee ballots to be notarized in order to be counted in an election.
David Ray (Republican)
Undecided
I have voted for several bills to ensure we have election integrity. I would study the specifics of this proposal before voting.
7. Privacy: Requiring individuals to use the changing room, restroom, or shower of their biological sex on government property—such as public schools, state parks, and government buildings.
David Ray (Republican)
Support
8. Nursing Homes: Allowing family members to place a “granny camera” in the room of a nursing home resident for monitoring and visiting purposes.
David Ray (Republican)
Undecided
I would study the specifics of this proposal before voting.
9. Marriage: Making it more difficult to obtain a divorce by eliminating general indignities as grounds for divorce.
David Ray (Republican)

I believe that marriage is a sacred union ordained by God.
