Sometimes the consequences applied to a relative can unfairly haunt another's campaign especially in the age of scorched earth politics that Ark GOP are known to play.

Have you considered @runforsomething.net maybe even an Arkansas State office?
If so, Arkansas needs to flip 9 Senate seats & 22 House seats to break & be above the 2/3 seat total of the GOP supermajority.
Such a shift would reshape state politics in 2026 and beyond. #arbluedots #arpx
