  • Summary

  • This is "Arkies in the Beltway" for the week of Oct. 6, 2024. I'm Alex Thomas, Washington Correspondent for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette, with your look at national politics and the Arkansans influencing these conversations.

    Election Day is less than a month away, and Arkansans will have many candidates to consider for local, state and federal offices.

    During October, "Arkies in the Beltway" will look at the contests for Arkansas’ congressional districts, hearing from the candidates as they explain why they are best suited to represent the Natural State on Capitol Hill.

    We start this series, appropriately enough, with Arkansas' 1st Congressional District; incumbent Rep. Rick Crawford, R-Ark., is facing challenges from Democrat Rodney Govens and Libertarian Steve Parsons.
