Small Arkansas farmer launches bid to challenge US Senator Tom Cotton

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) — A sixth-generation farmer from northeast Arkansas announced Tuesday that she is seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Sen. Tom Cotton, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee who is seeking a third term.

Hallie Shoffner of Newport announced her bid for the nomination to unseat Cotton, who was first elected to the Senate and is widely viewed as a potential 2028 presidential hopeful.

“I’ll cut taxes for blue-collar workers, fight to restore Medicaid, save Social Security, cut the deficit, and be radically focused on bringing costs down for regular people,” Shoffner said in a release. “I’ll fight this rigged system every day — Tom Cotton’s the guy who did the rigging.”

Okay "lefties" - your turn. Who do you have for Arkansas Senate? No one? Hm.
