In this episode of Free Arkansas, hosts Andy McNeill and Rep. Matt Duffield sit down with Rep. Aaron Pilkington to unpack the highs, lows, and headline-grabbing moments from Arkansas' recently wrapped-up legislative session. 🇺🇸

  • ⚖️ Stronger sentencing for rape convictions
  • 🌊 Pilkington’s failed but fun “Gulf of America” resolution and the reaction it sparked
