Democrat Mahony seeks Cotton's seat in Senate
A Fayetteville Democrat who last year ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. House of Representatives launched another campaign Wednesday, this time for a seat in the U.S. Senate.
Josh Mahony, who received 32.6 percent of the vote in his race against incumbent Republican Steve Womack in the state's 3rd Congressional District in November, hopes to take on Republican U.S. Sen. Tom Cotton of Dardanelle in 2020.
In a conference call Wednesday morning, Mahony portrayed Cotton as a politician who has lost touch with the state he represents.
"He left Arkansas for D.C. the first chance he had, and it's plain to me and a lot of folks that he's just using us for his own ambitions. I've had enough of it, and I believe the good people of Arkansas have, too," Mahony said.

Hopefully he can get his campaign organized since he has done this before and had an opportunity to learn from his prior experience.
