I’ve been a proud Arkansan my whole life. I have 400 years of American ancestry in my veins—America has been my family’s home since the seventeenth century. As a member of the Sons of the American Revolution and the Sons of Confederate Veterans, my forebears have served in nearly every conflict in our nation’s history, beginning with the Revolutionary War. During my time at the University of Chicago, I witnessed first-hand how Leftism had destroyed that city. After returning to Northwest Arkansas, I was horrified to see that same Leftism taking root in the Ozarks that I love so dearly. For decades, the people of Arkansas have had their State sold right out from under them. Our so-called representatives have sold us out at every turn. It’s time to take action. I will represent Arkansans—and ONLY Arkansans—no matter the cost. I will FIGHT for our State. The Ruling Class in D.C. and Arkansas are either asleep at the switch or actively working to betray us. Either way, they’ve got to go. It’s time for patriots to take back our birthright. Join me. Let’s FIGHT for Arkansas.
- Immigration Moratorium
- End the Opioid Plague
- Make the Family Great Again
End the Great Replacement by halting ALL immigration, building the Wall, and deporting every illegal.
Defend the Second Amendment ABSOLUTELY.
Fight to Protect Life by criminalizing infanticide, stripping medical licenses of abortionists, indicting politicians who use taxpayer funds for abortion, indicting donors to abortion providers, and criminalizing the use of fetal tissue.
End the War on the Working Class by repealing the Civil Rights Act, ending affirmative action, banning Critical Race Theory, dismantling Leftist terrorist groups, and defending the January 6 Trump supporters.
Make the Family Great Again by providing childbirth bounties to stay-at-home mothers, eliminating no-fault divorce, reforming the anti-family "family court" system, taxing university endowments, and forgiving student debt--by making the universities eat the cost.
End the Opioid Plague.
Fight LGBT Perversion by ending gay marriage, restricting adoption to straight married couples, criminalizing LGBT propaganda to minors, and criminalizing transgender drugs and procedures.
Secure Our Elections by mandating in-person paper ballots ONLY, voter ID, and fully auditing the illegitimate 2020 election.
Put America First by ending foreign aid and foreign interventionism, repudiating Chinese debt, penalizing offshoring and outsourcing, and rebuilding our manufacturing.
Preserve Our Heritage by protecting monuments and defunding the anti-American education system.
To do whatever it takes to protect your constituents, to listen to them and speak with them often, to be available to them, to STAND for them and be their lightning rod--to take the heat so that they never have to.
The Night They Drove Old Dixie Down, by The Band
Not at all. I trust anyone in a 20-mile radius around my house to govern more than I do any currently elected official, with perhaps a handful of exceptions. What matters is your commitment to the betterment of the people you claim to represent; all of the pedigrees in the world can't ever hold a candle to that passion to work as hard as you can, at whatever the cost, to protect and improve the lives of your constituents.
Yes, because it (at least in theory) ensures that Representatives are finely attuned to the interests of their constituents.
Preston Brooks.
The time for compromise is over. In fact, weak Establishment Republicans have done us more damage than any Democrat ever could, by compromising time and time again. Rather than defend their constituents and fulfill the promises which got them elected, RINO Republicans roll over and give the Left whatever it wants. The people of Arkansas are tired of these one-sided compromises, which are really SURRENDERS. The people of Arkansas want UNCOMPROMISING leaders who will NEVER BOW to the Mob, who will NEVER sell them out. No, when you look at everything we are up against, compromise is no longer an option.

Campaign website
Kumar's campaign website stated the following:

Stop the Great Replacement. Americans are waking up to the fact that they’re being replaced by cheap labor from Latin America, Asia, and India. This must stop. America for Americans.
The Federal government is going to take our guns. It’s only a matter of time. State Sovereignty includes criminalizing, charging, and prosecuting any federal agent who would seek to deprive any Arkansan of their God-given right to bear arms.
The Anti-American forces destroying our nation debase the value of precious, unborn life. Countless millions of babies have been sacrificed on the altar of convenience. The high costs of this sin are unfathomable. We must end the extermination of innocent life at once, and at all costs.
As the Rust Belt has seen, there’s a war against good-paying jobs for traditional Americans. The war on America is moving to the South.
Democrats have used public schools to destroy our families by removing children from the home, driving down wages, and separating families by forcing the two-working parent model. This must be reversed.
Tax university endowments on a basis conditioned upon the career success of their graduates.
From 1999 to 2020, over 850,000 Americans were murdered by Big Pharma and globalist oligarchs who destroyed the American middle class. Putting America First means putting American WORKERS and LIVES first.
Build a national monument to the hundreds of thousands of souls lost to drug addiction.
Family is the most critical building block to civil society. To defile marriage is to destroy the family. America must flat-out reject the perversion of family life by the hateful, anti-Christian homosexual lobby.
The November 2020 “election” of Joe Biden will go down in history as totally illegitimate, and will either be the turning point for the saving of our republic or the beginning of its demise. Elections must be secure and trustworthy for the Rule of Law to have even a prayer.
Right now, American treasure works to enrich globalist oligarchs, who put the interests of cheap low-skilled labor—and every other profit-motive under the sun—ahead of the interests of American citizens. American wealth should work for American citizens.
Our history is under attack. Violent communists have begun their open revolution against America. If we let them erase our history, they will control our future. Our heritage must be defended at all costs.
