I am fighting to put Arkansas first.
Tom Cotton has been in Washington for 14 years and life in Arkansas has only gotten worse.
Arkansas deserves better.

I don’t think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

Northwest Arkansas showed up to ask Tom Cotton to debate me! It’s on Monday, Tom. Where are you going to be?
We can see the finish line! Make sure to sign up to volunteer to help folks with their voting plans and get people to the polls!
Early voting starts Oct 19th! Election Day is Nov 3rd!

If you elect me as your next U.S. Senator, the letters next to my name that matter will be the AR.

Governor Mike Beebe is one of the most respected public servants Arkansas has ever had. He worked across the aisle, brought people together, and always put Arkansas first.
So when people ask me what kind of public servant I want to be, I point to Governor Beebe.
I’m deeply honored to have his endorsement.
We may have a D beside our names, but the letters that matter most to Governor Beebe and me are AR.

Apx 200 showed today in red Harrison at 2pm for @hallieshoffner’s meet & greet. Apx 200 showed in Green Forest earlier, also extremely red. Traitor Tom needs to be worried! I’m hopeful for Arkansas!

I rarely post anything other than weather and my awful sports takes, but I need to vent.
In a few months we are going to look back and wish we could go back to $5 gas prices. It seems like every day the news headlines just get worse and worse. The worst part about all of this is that it all could have been avoided. Our leadership has no one to blame but themselves.
BREAKING: Yemen's Houthis might have directly struck Saudi Arabia's East-West crude oil pipeline in the desert southeast of Medina. Sentinel-3 satellite imagery from today shows a massive black smoke plume nearly 100 km long over the pipeline route, stretching across the desert between Medina and Mahd adh Dhahab.
Satellite fire data shows a large fire burning at the same spot, with multiple heat anomalies clustered along a stretch of under 10 kilometers, fire radiative power above 70 megawatts, more than double a conventional fire, and the burn sustained for at least 8 hours, per NASA FIRMS data from today.
The East-West pipeline carries Saudi crude from Abqaiq to Yanbu on the Red Sea, the kingdom's only export route that does not pass through the Strait of Hormuz. The fire comes amid Houthi attacks on Saudi territory over the past 24 hours.

Reuters spent three weeks in Arkansas telling a story that starts with farmers, but it is about so much more than farming.
It is about what happens when hardworking people do everything right and still can’t get ahead.
Farmers are losing farms. Teachers can’t afford to live on their salaries. Families are getting crushed by health care, groceries, utilities, and housing. Small businesses are struggling. Young people wonder whether there is a future for them here.
I know what it feels like to work hard, build something, and still watch the economics stop making sense.
I didn’t plan to run for office. I planned to farm.
But when I couldn’t farm anymore, I decided to fight for the people who are getting squeezed just like my family was.
Because this isn’t just a farm crisis.
It’s an Arkansas crisis.
And I believe we can fix it.
I believe in Arkansas.
Reuters spent three weeks with Arkansas voters and Hallie Shoffner, a local farmer turned Democratic Party Senate nominee, to examine the economic and political implications that the state’s farm crisis could have nationwide. Be they growers, businesspeople, or everyday citizens eyeing gathering clouds on the horizon, all agreed their worries can no longer be ignored reut.rs/4cjOxq4

Got to meet Senator Ed Markey while taking the ferry into Boston. I told him I hope @hallieshoffner gets to join him soon in the Senate soon, and that we’re tired of @SenTomCotton in Arkansas! It’s time for change! #vote #votehallieshoffner

I hosted an event for her last week.
Folks, she’s the real deal.

Running hard against the Iran War is one way to enlarge the map, especially with guys like Cotton who wanted this war for over a decade.

The grocery store doesn’t have a Republican price and a Democrat price. We are all hurting, and Washington isn’t working for us.
"This idea that we're working harder than ever and we're still falling behind is one that more than just farmers understand" - US Senate Candidate Hallie Shoffner (D-AR) @hallieshoffner on the struggles facing US Agriculture
