On Monday, March 1, I traveled down to Little Rock with my dad to file the paperwork necessary to put my name on the ballot for the primary set for Tuesday, May 18. We couldn’t have come this far without the support of our terrific supporters. Thank you.
Having never gone through the experience before, I can tell you it was something to see. More than 150 candidates filed the first day, including Rep. John Boozman (R-AR), Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D-AR), and David Whitaker, Democratic candidate for the Third District. Candidates, their families, and their supporters filled the Capitol. The event made for some fantastic people-watching.
Secretary of State Charlie Daniels' office is tweeting each candidate’s filing. You can follow the action at twitter.com/arsecofstate.
The filing window closes Monday, March 8, at which point the field will be set. The primary is set for Tuesday, May 18—just seventy-seven days from today.
Once again, we couldn’t have made it this far without our supporters. Thank you. We now need you more than ever. Learn more about how you can help our campaign. With your help, we can win on May 18, and together we can make Arkansas stronger.
