State House 87

1. Abortion: The 1973 Roe v. Wade U.S. Supreme Court abortion decision.
DeAnn Vaught (Republican)
Oppose
2. COVID: Letting private businesses terminate employees who are not vaccinated against COVID-19.
DeAnn Vaught (Republican)
Undecided
Although I do not believe that anyone should be forced to take a vaccine to keep their job, I also believe individual businesses should be able to decide how to run their personal businesses.
3. Marijuana: Legalizing recreational marijuana in Arkansas.
DeAnn Vaught (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.
DeAnn Vaught (Republican)
Undecided
I know this is an ever-growing discussion. I do believe there are lots of things to take into consideration when it comes to money following a student to any school. We must look how this is going to affect our rural public schools, and we must consider if we send public funds to a private school: does that mean that the state is going to start dictating to private schools what they can teach and not teach.
5. Critical Race Theory: Withholding state funds from any public school that promotes critical race theory.
DeAnn Vaught (Republican)
Support
6. Elections: Requiring absentee ballots to be notarized in order to be counted in an election.
DeAnn Vaught (Republican)
Support
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.
DeAnn Vaught (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.
DeAnn Vaught (Republican)
Undecided
I think there would be some privacy issues to work out especially if they have a roommate. However, I do think this would be a good way to visit your loved ones, especially after people have been separated from their families so much during the COVID pandemic.
9. Marriage: Making it more difficult to obtain a divorce by eliminating general indignities as grounds for divorce.
DeAnn Vaught (Republican)
Oppose
I don't believe in divorce for myself, but I also don't know that I have the right to tell someone what they can and can't get a divorce for. I believe that is a decision between them and God.
