Tom has been fighting for Arkansas. Here are a few things he's most proud of.
The Obamacare mandate was a tax on more than 60,000 Arkansas households that couldn't afford health insurance. Senator Cotton fought and succeeded in getting the tax repealed as part of the 2017 tax cut.
Senator Cotton is fighting to rebuild our military and ensure that our brave soldiers at the Pine Bluff Arsenal, Fort Chaffee, and Little Rock Air Force Base have the resources they need to keep us safe.
Tom is working across the aisle to stand up to big pharmaceutical companies that are driving up the cost of drugs for Arkansas seniors. He's worked with the Trump administration to get more generic drugs on the market.
Tom's a leader in cracking down on illegal drugs, working with Arkansas law enforcement and President Trump to increase the penalties for trafficking fentanyl and opioids. A national group of drug-enforcement officers named Senator Cotton their Member of the Year for leading the fight against illegal drugs.

The decision to reinstate the federal death penalty will ensure that justice is served in five terrible, bloody cases. It will reassure law-abiding citizens that our government has the will to protect them from violence. And it will remind criminals that justice may be delayed, even for years, but it cannot be avoided. That’s why we welcome the decision by the president and Attorney General Barr.
