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.
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.

9. Marriage: Making it more difficult to obtain a divorce by eliminating general indignities as grounds for divorce.
