| Description | Freshman Rep. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., will announce his candidacy next week to challenge Sen. Mark Pryor, arguably Democrats’ most vulnerable senator of the cycle.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that Cotton would make his campaign announcement Aug. 6 at an event in his hometown of Dardanelle.
In an email with CQ Roll Call, Cotton spokeswoman Caroline Rabbitt would only confirm that the congressman is holding the event. Cotton purchased an ad in the Wednesday issue of the Yell County Record announcing an event at the Dardanelle Community Center.
“On Tuesday, Tom is inviting his hometown and all who have supported him along the way to hear about his fight to represent Arkansas’s values in DC,” Rabbitt said. “He looks forward to sharing his plans to continue that fight in the coming year.”
His candidacy in this Republican-trending state means the race will likely become one of the most competitive in the country. National Republicans touted Cotton as a top recruit who they believe can defeat Pryor, who did not have a Republican challenger in 2008. |
