Join us in conversation with Senator Bryan King on the state of Arkansas politics today and a recap of the fiscal session this Thursday, May 7th.

King, a Republican, has had a notable and sometimes tense relationship with Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders despite being in the same party. King has positioned himself as an independent-minded conservative and has publicly questioned aspects of Sanders’ administration, particularly around transparency and the use of state funds.
