My good friend Dr. Bill Humphrey retired yesterday from Arkansas State University after 25 years of service. He will be sorely missed. Congratulations, Doc!

Today is the one year anniversary of the Boston Bombings and I am reminded of the visit I had with some of the members of the City of Boston Bomb Squad. We visited that day about their response after the bombings and what they did in those uncertain hours following that terrible tragedy. This is the challenge coin that they presented me and I will always remember their bravery as they put themselves in harm's way to ensure that no more lives would be lost. #BostonStrong

I am sorry I missed the folks from the Craighead County Extension Homemakers today. My staff was able to join them as they toured the Capitol.

A great U.S. discussion is happening in the Gosnell HS 9th grade Civics class. THANKS to Superintendent Bonard Mace! http://t.co/KvgSZRdIv3
