State House 70

1. Abortion: The 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision.
Carlton Wing (Republican)
Oppose
2. COVID: Letting private businesses terminate employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.
Carlton Wing (Republican)
Oppose
3. Marijuana: Legalizing recreational marijuana in Arkansas.
Carlton Wing (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.
Carlton Wing (Republican)
Support
5. Critical Race Theory: Withholding state funds from any public school that promotes critical race theory.
Carlton Wing (Republican)
Support
6. Elections: Requiring absentee ballots to be notarized in order to be counted in an election.
Carlton Wing (Republican)

While there could be a justification for certain absentee ballots, requiring notarization for ALL absentee ballots would be problematic for many, especially our seniors and overseas military.
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.
Carlton Wing (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.
Carlton Wing (Republican)
Undecided
The first concern is for the privacy and dignity of the resident. Most people would not want such an intrusion into their personal life. There could be some extremely limited situations in which a camera in the room is warranted, but such an effort would need to be approached with great respect for the resident.
9. Marriage: Making it more difficult to obtain a divorce by eliminating general indignities as grounds for divorce.
Carlton Wing (Republican)

I absolutely support the sanctity of marriage and want to protect it. I've been married for over 30 years and love my wife dearly.
However, as used in this question, the term "general indignities" may mislead people into thinking it is the low-bar standard of "irreconcilable differences", which it is not. "General Indignities", must be sustained for a period of time to demonstrate a clear pattern rendering a situation intolerable. Should it be eliminated, it could be harmful for the divorcing spouse who is not in a good financial situation. Under current Arkansas law, if General Indignities were eliminated, a couple would have to wait for 18 months to be separated and apart before the law would allow a divorce, by that time a low-earning former spouse could be bankrupt.
