Early this morning, Springdale was hit by what is believed to be a tornado. Springdale has suffered significant damage. I connected with Mayor Sprouse, at the City of Springdale, AR - Mayor's Office, immediately and called in a verbal emergency declaration. By declaring an emergency with the State, this alerts them to be ready if and when we need them.

We had all of our equipment staged and ready to assist Springdale. That will be our priority until Springdale is no longer in need of our assistance.

Please pray for everyone touched by this disaster and those picking up the pieces. Crews are working diligently on getting the power back on and roads cleared.

You can see current outages at https://www.ozarksecc.com/outage/map and you can report outages through MyOzarks or 1-800-521-6144. You can also watch for updates on their page, Ozarks Electric Cooperative .

You can also follow the updates from the Springdale Police Department on their page or call the non-emergency number for assistance 479-756-8200. If you have an emergency please call 911.

The Red Cross will also be assisting. If you need their assistance please call 1-800-red-cross.

I was abandoned as a baby on the streets of Chicago...

but because I was born in the greatest nation on earth, I was able to overcome life’s obstacles in order to become a business leader, Arkansas Deputy Secretary of State, and the chief executive of one of Arkansas’s largest counties. I am now running to be the Republican nominee for Arkansas Lt. Governor so I can continue to fight for what is possible in the Natural State.
