Mike Beebe Believes
in Arkansas
Governor Mike Beebe has dedicated nearly three decades of his life to serving the people of Arkansas. From state senator to attorney general and now governor, he has remained focused on creating jobs, balancing budgets while cutting taxes, and making sure Arkansas schools provide a world-class education to our children.
Mike Beebe was raised by a single mother on the tips she made as a waitress. She taught him the value of hard work and the importance of a strong education. As Governor, he made these values the cornerstone of his administration. Arkansas is ranked 10th in the nation in public schools by Education Week. Even as a national economic crisis has gripped the state, nearly 25,000 new jobs have been announced in Arkansas. Arkansans benefited from the largest tax relief in state history, with Beebe cutting the state sales tax on groceries by two-thirds and reducing property taxes through the Homestead Property Tax Credit.
Mike Beebe is running for Governor because he believes that there is still more work to be done. Over the next four years, he wants to complete the phase out of the sales tax on groceries, continue to invest in job growth and economic development for Arkansas, and push our public schools forward on the path to excellence.
Believe in Arkansas, more than ever.
