3 in U.S. Senate race talk up their credentials, priorities

In his bid to unseat U.S. Sen. John Boozman, Democratic candidate Conner Eldridge says it's time for Arkansans to ditch the Republican incumbent and elect someone who has a more aggressive approach to serving the state in Washington, D.C.

"The choice in this race is between somebody who has been there for 15 years and hadn't done anything, and a strong new voice to aggressively represent Arkansas," Eldridge said in an interview.

"I plan to take my experience as a prosecutor and a no-nonsense, really nonpartisan apolitical approach full of common sense and a will to get things done to Washington," he said.

Boozman said he should be re-elected because he's "right on the issues, trying to limit government, trying to have a government that works, trying to watch our spending and trying to keep federal taxes to a minimum."

large ones on the Square where people coming to the farmers' market can't miss them. Probably nothing in Benton County.
