UIYB with Asa Hutchinson, 46th Governor of Arkansas
William Asa Hutchinson II was born in Bentonville, AR in 1950. Attending law school at the University of Arkansas, Asa practiced as an attorney and businessman for 21 years. In 1982, President Ronald Reagan appointed Hutchinson as the U.S. attorney for the Western District of Arkansas. At the age of 31, Hutchinson was the nation's youngest U.S. attorney. It wasn’t until 1997 that Asa became an elected politician to the Arkansas House of Representatives, occupying his brother Tim’s former seat, as a member of the Republican Party. In 2014, Mr. Hutchinson defeated his democratic opponent Mike Ross and became the 46th governor of A...

Asa Hutchinson on 2024 GOP Primaries: Hard to Get Any Other Message Out!

It's hard to get any other message out.”H...

Are Will Hurd and Asa Hutchinson the Deep State Candidates? (Episode #142, Aug. 3, 2023)
In this episode, I explore why two men, Will Hurd and Asa Hutchinson, are running for the president, an office they have zero chance of winning. Asa polls at .7% and Will polls at .3%. A plumber from New Haven would likely have better numbers or at least almost as good. They are basically 0! Will and Asa aren't dumb. They know they cannot win or even get close. They also know that no one cares if they run and no want wanted them to run.

Showing Appreciation to our Law Enforcement Officers
The 93rd General Assembly wrapped up its fiscal session this week, and today I’d like to commend legislators for their support of law enforcement in Arkansas. The 93rd General Assembly was one of the most law enforcement friendly sessions ever. Legislators voted to fund stipends, pay raises, new positions, and equipment. They increased the reimbursement to county jails for the care of state prisoners and allocated money for the expansion of a prison in Calico Rock. Legislators and leaders of law enforcement joined me at a table in the rotunda as I si...

Arkansas’s Support for Ukraine
In the week since Russia invaded Ukraine, Arkansas has joined most of the world in condemning the unprovoked assault. Today I’d like to share the story of a woman from Ukraine who is watching the war from Arkansas and praying for her relatives and friends who are sheltering in basements in her homeland. Kateryna Pitchford’s story highlights the reality of the war for the rest of us. Kateryna came to the United States in 2004 and is an associate professor of business at Central Baptist College in Conway. She was born in eastern Ukra...

Paving the Way for the Future of Mobility
Ever since I took office in 2015, my goal has been to make Arkansas first. From the very first coding tour, I have pushed Arkansas to lead the nation on computer science. Legislators who share my vision for the future passed laws that put the state ahead of the rest of the nation. In a press conference this week, I announced that Arkansas can also be a worldwide leader in advanced mobility, which includes electric vehicles, driverless vehicles, drone delivery, and cars that travel by air. I created the Arkansas Council on Future...

Arkansas’s Black History Heroes
February is Black History Month, and today I’d like to pay tribute to some of the Arkansans who have made a real difference in our state and nation. More than 160 Arkansans have been inducted into the Arkansas Black Hall of Fame. Many of those are historic figures who contributed to the early growth and governance of Arkansas. Many others are still making news. They have represented Arkansas in the fields of journalism, publishing, and entertainment; law; politics; agriculture; restaurants; nuclear science; computer science; the military; and college and professional sports.

A Bridge Across the Centuries
Two weeks ago, I traveled to Washington to attend the Winter Session of the National Governors Association. As I met with my fellow governors, I was inspired by our shared hope that America will continue to be the beacon of freedom to the world. Our meeting included dinner at the home of the Swiss Ambassador to the United States. In his remarks to us, Ambassador Jacques Pitteloud recounted events, such as the first and second world wars, when the hopes of the Free World rested on our great nation. He was born in November 1962...

Student’s Coding Solution Solves Sports Scheduling Issue
Today I’d like to talk about the 16-year-old student at Mountain Home High who amazed teachers, coaches, and athletic directors throughout the 6A West football conference when he wrote a computer program that solved a scheduling dilemma that had stumped all of them. Mountain Home Athletic Director Mitch Huskey said the problem sounds simple, but it’s not. With the Mountain Home Bombers moving to 6A, the conference now has nine teams – an odd number – that will compete in an eight-game season. To be fair, the ideal schedule would pit each of the nine tea...

National Governors Association
As Governor, I’m a member of the National Governors Association, which was founded in 1908 to promote bipartisanship. In politics, we call that “reaching across the aisle.” I became chair of the National Governors Association last summer, and in that role, I have seen more clearly than ever that if we are going to overcome big challenges, we must set aside our differences to get things done. Since the arrival of COVID-19, governors of both parties have worked tirelessly to protect our residents. In 2020, Arkansas agreed to send spare ventilators to our neighbors in Louisia...

Dr. Rob Conner, a veterinarian, and Dr. Kyle McAlister, a radiologist, created The Masketeers early in the COVID-19 pandemic because masks for were hard to find. They made it their mission to find a supply of adequate face masks to protect themselves, their employees, and Mountain Home. Their solution was to launch a company to make them. Since The Masketeers went into full production last January, the company has sold over 2 million ma...

Today, I’d like to share some details about the new U.S. Steel plant, which eventually will create more than 900 high-paying jobs and will make Mississippi County the Number 1 steel-producing county in the nation. The competition for the mill was intense, but we won because of our workforce, our business-friendly environment, our abundant, renewable, and clean power, superior Class 1 rail service, and easy access to Mississippi River docks and interstate trucking.
