The last time Republicans had full control of the Arkansas congressional delegation, a battle-ravaged United States was picking up the pieces from the Civil War.

Any regular citizens that attempt a run will find another supposedly non-establishment type on the ballot, to split their vote, resulting in the establishment type described above winning the primary election. JMHO.
YEAH!!!!!!! It is about time. We need to get rid of the Democratic controlled State Leg next.
Actually the Dems were all DINOs, fairly conservative Southern Democrats, like the voting population. The Dem party is simply moving too far to the left for the voters.
