Arkansas 2nd Congressional District
Arkansas 2nd Congressional District
Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District is represented by http://www.house.gov/snyder/(D).
Not being an Arkansas native I don’t yet understand why a state as
red as AR is dominated by Democrats. Vic Snyder is originally from
the Left Coast state of Oregon and has a voting record that
reflects his Oregonian roots and would make Nancy Pelosi proud. Our
Governor Mike Beebe is a Democrats, both our Senators, Mark Pryor
and Blanche Lincoln, are Democrats, and three of four House members
are Democrats. The only Republican is Rep. Boozman of District 3 up
in the Fayetteville area of the state, an area dominated by
Wal-Mart and its very conservative workforce. I believe the GOP can
dominate AR if only it made the attempt. Based on my limited
experience with the state’s GOP I would say that they are
disorganized, weak, and not much interested in winning elections. I
offered myself as a candidate to run against Vic Snyder this year
and exchanged a few e-mails with the party regarding my candidacy
but they simply stopped responding to me. I would understand if
they found me an unacceptable candidate and had instead found
someone else better qualified to run but Vic Snyder wound up with
only token opposition from a Green Party candidate. The GOP did not
bother to field a candidate. I currently live in Little Rock but
will be starting a new job on 11/24 in Bentonville and have already
contacted the http://www.bentongopwing.com/,
a truly Conservative organization, and plan to be very
involved.
