MICHAEL TYLER
Background and Values
I am a Christian, husband, father, veteran, farmer and life time conservative Republican. I served 28 years in the U.S. Army and chose to retire in Ouachita county. My wife and I settled into our community and decided this would be our forever home. I am without reservation a strong supporter and advocate for the sanctity of life, individual freedom and liberty by a limited government, strong national defense, equal and just enforcement of the law, and the right to bear arms.

After the Military and settling in Ouachita County, I have served as a Volunteer Fire Fighter at Frenchport Volunteer Fire Department.
