This is a one point race between a Democrat fighting for you and the most powerful banker in America. French Hill made being broke more expensive when he raised overdraft fees, but we can kick him to the curb next November. Join me in my fight to defeat him: chris4ar.org/ab-video

There could be unintended consequences to Arkansas's new rule banning the use of SNAP for soda and sweets. Stores will have to jump through compliance hoops to properly classify items, and some small retailers may choose to stop taking SNAP altogether. Here's the Arkansas Advocate:
Arkansas's new restrictions on SNAP benefits need guidance to be ‘workable,’ senator warns - Arkansas Times

Turns out a guy tried to get Grok to dig up dirt on me… and instead Grok endorsed me.

He got mad. I laughed.

What can I say? Even Elon’s AI bot wants a farmer in the Senate.

Did you know Arkansas legislators passed a law this year allowing school districts to appoint a voter to cast a single ballot? Act 399 of 2025 offers a solution to a tricky situation: meeting a constitutional requirement for a vote even when the rate doesn't change and the votes don't count.
