That I will faithfully discharge the duties. And upon which I. Speaker you're recognized thank you. Members. I thank you once again for your vote of support. Humbly accept the speakership of the Arkansas house of representatives for the ninety fourth General Assembly. I think I speak for more than just myself when I say thank you for selecting me your Speaker on the first and not the fifteenth ballot. And this body prides itself on not reflecting DC politics and we're off to a great start once again. First and foremost I want to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ. whom which anything that I've ever been able to accomplish is only this that's the only way that that's ever possible and that far more important than anything that I will ever do is having a personal relationship with him. Regardless of any position that I hold. Regardless of any position that I may hold now have held in the past for me ever cold. All glory honor and praise goes to the lord god almighty. And I will give him praise in both the good times and the bad times. I want to thank my wife Allie for her love support and sacrifice particularly during my service in the legislature. there's no question that she has the most difficult job in the shepherd family in tending to the home. In teaching school. And providing for our children while I'm here in Little Rock. And I would say thank you Allie I love you and you mean the world to me. I will also want to thank my children the law Mary Kate and Libby for their love. And sacrifice and support as well. And though I embarrassed them many times. I am so very proud of them and. The young. Men and women that they are becoming. I'd like to thank. My parents. For all that they've done for me through the years. there's no doubt that anybody that knows me can see both the the traits of my father and my mother in me and I can't thank them enough and to my brother and my sister and their families thank you for your love and support as always say of course my brother is also my law partner I'm always thankful when I go back home and it still says shepherd Shepherd. And not just Shepherd. But I also recognize that each of us have family friends co workers and others each of you have others who make your service possible just the same as these individuals on the front row make my service possible and so I'd like for you to join me and at this time let's thank our families our friends our supporters are co workers and everybody else that is here for us and back. Unquestionably it's always a special honor to have my father administered the oath of office and he and my mother instilled in me a love and understanding of the importance of public service from an early age an early memory for me is an elementary school my grandparents and parents took me to see then president Ronald Reagan speak in person. Course represent Eubanks said he actually got to vote for Ronald Reagan. I was reminded. Of president Reagan's outlook on the future of our country when I thought about the challenges of our state now. We have emerged from one of the most trying periods for both our health and our economy in recent history. But it's a new day in Arkansas And we ring in the new year with New Hope on new year's day in nineteen eighty two president Reagan spoke to a nation. Gripped by recession he said the road to recovery is never easy but America is no stranger to challenges we need only to live up to our convictions to set things right we know it only believe in ourselves and our country in it tomorrow. As an aside. One of the things that struck strikes me as an opportunity. This summer to go to the beaches of Normandy. And I would encourage anyone who is ever able to. To go to the beaches of Normandy to go to the American cemetery. It will change your life forever as to how you see yourself as an American and that is how you see your service to our country and brings tremendous perspective into the work that we have to do. And we do have a great deal of challenges before us businesses need more workers hospitals more nurses schools more teachers and public safety must be prioritized. But I believe the American spirit that Reagan talked about for decades ago. Can help to solve the issues of today. I believe in ourselves. In our country including our state. And then tomorrow. The house is a special place and there isn't a day that has passed in twelve years we're I'm not immensely grateful that I'm part of this body. With all of us each representing approximately thirty thousand our Kansans are constituents have an accessible advocate to their state government. Here is where people from every corner mountain in valley of our state convene for the good of every our cans here under the panes of stained glass and behind the columns of marble that we're card more than a century ago. We meet. For the same purpose every two years to leave Arkansas better than we found it. It's worth noting this body as a whole is younger than in years past in fact twenty one member sworn in today are forty years of age or younger. For pop culture reference that means that about twenty percent the house was born after Ali's last fight born after bear Bryant coached his last game and after ET phone home. A new generation is taking on a larger role in leadership they bring new ideas shape our fast changing world. Conversely we have members who have been serving in this body for over a decade. They bring new ideas as well state by wisdom that comes with years. And by their now extensive knowledge of the inner workings of government. The span of generations and experience in this body. Conserve Arkansas will. If we listen to one another without judgment and with the genuine search for one another's perspective. Whether you're twenty seven or seventy seven the life experiences you bring this body matters. This is not in which a stage. In this house we have farmers lawyers doctors teachers real estate agents pastors. This year we even have a couple of radio show host and a former professional wrestler. Our vast diversity in careers also strengthens the legislature. By sharing our individual expertise we can together craft legislation that benefits all our Kansans. This year our districts have changed we have a new district number and a new boundary. Some of you may have larger districts than last year others may be more condensed. But whether your constituents include the rice farmers in the delta. Or the company executives in Bentonville whether you're district borders the Mississippi or the Washita whether you live on the hill of the Razorbacks. Or the den of the red bulls. In this chamber. We are first and foremost our Kansans. In under this dome our principles should be our guide here every our cans and you and the people you represent deserve to be heard respected and valued may we all strive to respect our differences and find a consensus to build upon. Recently I had a reporter in my office asking me what I expected in the session. After answering his questions about what I thought might be contentious this session he said you're optimistic aren't you. As far as accusations from the press. Go I I'd be glad to accept that one. He said this because I had replied that although expected biz vigorous debate on some issues I wouldn't characterize any potential issue as absolutely destined to be contentious. I think in the end we will come together to do the best for the people of Arkansas. And more times than not. In a way that is not contentious but respectful and vigorous. I think that we will solve those problems lay before us. I do try to be an optimist I think you have to be an optimist to serve your. If I'm not optimistic that I probably shouldn't be your Speaker if I didn't believe we can make tomorrow better than today if I didn't believe every life has a god given purpose if I didn't believe in the goodness of humanity in a god who loves us unconditionally I probably should not be here. But I do believe those things and I believe that you do to. Our job now is to take this journey one day at a time and wake up every morning believing in the bright future of our state. I hope you will do that. As I've said now many many many times from this well. I remain willing. To work with all who are willing. And together I know we can accomplish much. For the people who matter most the people of Arkansas. May god bless you may god bless this House and may god continue to bless the great state of Arkansas. Thank. Ladies and gentlemen of the House it is my honor and privilege to present to you the Speaker of the house of representatives of the ninety fourth two I'm reading the wrong thing.
