AR-SEN: Arkansas farmer (D) challenges Cotton for U.S. Senate seat

Sixth-generation farmer Hallie Shoffner officially launched her campaign against U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton on Tuesday.

The Democrat and Newport native is challenging the incumbent Republican who’s seeking his third six-year term in the U.S. Senate during the 2026 election.

Shoffner aims to unseat Cotton and “take on the corrupt political system he’s spent the past ten years rigging against regular people,” according to a press release.

“As a sixth-generation family farmer, I know what it’s like to have to fight tooth and nail for everything you have, and still get crushed by an economy that’s rigged against you,” Shoffner said.
