Tom Cotton said yes to $40 billion for Argentina’s economy but no to helping workers, families, and farmers right here in Arkansas.

Arkansas deserves a Senator who fights for OUR families and farmers, not foreign ones.

This campaign isn’t fueled by big PACs or billionaires. It’s powered by real people who are ready for change. Ready for leaders who understand what it’s like to struggle and who will SHOW UP every single day to fight for them.

We can solve food insecurity in Arkansas. In fact, Arkansas can itself feed the entire nation.

There was a time in politics when Dems and Reps could sit down together and actually get things done. Governor Mike Beebe was a man who led with respect, reason, and results. We could use a little more of that spirit today.

We need leaders with vision. Leaders who can see beyond today’s crisis to tomorrow’s opportunity.

Thank you to Phillips County and the Elaine Massacre Museum. The Elaine Massacre of 1919 was one of the deadliest racial conflicts in America, when 100s of Black sharecroppers were killed for organizing to demand fair pay. Honoring the past is how we build a better future.

Seniors deserve the lifeline that is Social Security. They should be treated with dignity and not as a burden, but as an opportunity. Our older Arkansans are a source of wisdom, care, and economic growth in our communities, and we need to honor that.

Challenge accepted, @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social ! Come on down to Arkansas, let’s talk about how this Democrat is going to deliver for real people here in my state. Nobody tells us what to do or how to think.

Tom Cotton and Washington are putting Argentina over Arkansas. This isn’t putting America first. But it is putting American farmers last.

Arkansas taxpayers were forced to pay another country to undercut our own farmers.

D.C. sent Argentina $20B in assistance. Then Argentina dropped THEIR export taxes and sold soybeans to China. And our farmers are being left behind.

I’ll fight for trade policies that put farmers first.

We are unstoppable. We are building a movement. A movement for farmers. For families. For Arkansas. And we’re just getting started.

Join me. Be part of it. Together, we will change what’s possible.

Thank you, Conway, for a wonderful night at Kings! There are so many things I’m thankful for in this campaign, but most of all, I’m thankful for you and the incredible work we are doing together. This is a good sign!

Nothing says “you’re doing something right” than being attacked by the Arkansas GOP establishment.

Apparently they think speaking the truth and talking about the issues that Arkansans actually CARE ABOUT is “mouthy”.

Let’s be “mouthy” together. Chip in today: www.hallieshoffner.com.

Right after grad school, at the age of 24, I helped build a Hispanic Heritage community center that still stands today.

It’s one of the accomplishments I’m most proud of.

Happy #HispanicHeritageMonth!

They push fake news ’cause they’re scared of the money we’re raising. Jump in the ring with me, and let’s take the gloves off!

They went after Kimmel. Now they’re after me. That tells you they’re scared.

Arkansans are independent to the bone. Some call it stubborn, I call it survival. We’ve had to be tough just to get by. I’ll always fight for what’s best for our state, and, while I’m a Dem, I’d work with my Republican colleagues if it means putting our people 1st.

This race isn’t about left or right. It’s about doing what’s right, standing up for our people, and building an economy that works for every Arkansan. Together, we can grow stronger communities and a brighter future.
