How about you Tom Chicken? You going to debate now that she’s meeting you in your safe space? How about on a real debate on a real news network? The offer for you to bring your blankie still stands.

We have another big day of action coming up hitting doors for our candidates and we’re excited to be partnering with the future of our party, the Young Democrats of Arkansas to hit those doors!

This Saturday, join us at noon for food, a visit with some of our local candidates, and then some door knocking in both Erika Askeland for Arkansas House’s and Shamal C. Carter For State Representative District 36’s districts before the rally for Hallie Shoffner later that day at 4pm! It’s going to be a big day and we are asking you to join us for it to help elect these candidates to make a much needed change in our government.

Swing by the library to register to vote if you need to! If you have a friend or family member that isn’t registered, take them down there. This election is too important to sit out!

National Voter Registration Day is next week, and we’re so happy to celebrate with you!

If you’d like to register to vote or make sure your voter information is up to date, stop by the library on Tuesday, September 15, from 10 a.m. to 5:45 p.m., and we’ll be here to help!

We’ll have donuts, coffee, cupcakes, cookies, and other engaging activities throughout the day. 🎉

Representatives from the library, the League of Women Voters, and the American Association of University Women will be available to assist community members with the voter registration process and answer any questions you may have.

We hope you’ll stop by, get registered, make sure your information is current, and celebrate National Voter Registration Day with us! 💙❤

We have a great choice here in the first district in Dr. Terri Yarbrough Green for Congress. Mark your calendars for the debates to see for yourself.

Crawford faces two challengers this fall: Democrat Terri Yarbrough Green and Libertarian Steve Parsons.

Crawford, Green and Parsons each confirmed they have agreed to participate in next month's Arkansas TV debate. Green and Parsons have additionally accepted invitations to an event hosted by ASU-TV, Arkansas State University's student television station.

Tom Cotton is chicken.

Show up for a real debate outside your safe space Tom. You can bring your blankie if you need it.

It's been more than 4,350 days since Arkansans last saw a debate involving all of the candidates for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Tom Cotton. The Arkansas Republican, then a U.S. congressman, faced off against then-U.S. Sen. Mark Pryor, D-Ark., as well as the Libertarian and Green Party candidates, on Oct. 13, 2014.

This year, Democrat Hallie Shoffner and Libertarian Jeff Wadlin have accepted debate invitations from Arkansas TV and from Arkansas State University's student television station. Cotton, however, has agreed so far only to a debate hosted by the Texas-based Salem Media Group, which offers conservative and Christian programming.

We hit a whole bunch of doors on the west end of Jonesboro today spreading the word about our candidates and the hope they offer our community, state, and nation. We’re keeping at it, right up to November 3rd!

What’s our federal delegation and state leadership going to do about this? There was a time where we had Democratic leaders like Dale Bumpers and David Pryor who would have immediately been pushing for emergency legislation and government action to help our farmers and keep this from making prices worse. The Republicans we have in government now are more interested in book tours and getting paid more than taking action.

Roughly 80% of Arkansas’ peanut crop is trapped in the ground with nowhere to go after Delta Peanut lost its federal warehouse bond, leaving around 90 growers across Region 8 at a standstill just weeks before harvest season closes. https://www.kait8.com/2026/09/12/arkansas-peanut-growers-face-uncertainty-after-delta-peanut-loses-federal-warehouse-bond/
