Wayne Long for State Representative - District 39
LIFE:
I believe that life begins at conception and continues until we take our last natural breath. To take an innocent life is murder!

I became a Republican at age 18 because of their strong Pro-Life stance. Decades later, I’m still fighting for the Unborn. I will support an Arkansas version of the successful Texas abortion ban.
I am happy to report that I'm in 100% agreement with Arkansas Right to Life in their voter guide.
My incumbent opponent did not fill out their questioner. See link below:

On September 09, 2021, Jackson County became the sixth Arkansas county to be declared a Pro-Life County by its Quorum Court in a unanimous vote for my Resolution 2021-8. I am so proud of my fellow Justices for making our Counties Pro-Life stance official.
Below is the full text of my Pro-Life County resolution:

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE QUORUM COURT OF THE COUNTY OF JACKSON, STATE OF ARKANSAS, A RESOLUTION TO BE ENTITLED: A RESOLUTION DECLARING THAT JACKSON COUNTY IS A PRO-LIFE COUNTY.
