Arkansas farmer has Tom Cotton heading for his foxhole.

Although Senator Tom Cotton grew up in Arkansas, he now lives in Virgina. He considered his Senate seat so safe that he rarely visited the predominately red State of Arkansas except to attend big fundraisers.

All that changed in late 2025. His home state visits, social media posts and meetings with state special interest groups are now sharply on the rise.

Hallie Shoffner is the cause.

Her grassroots campaign against him as a Democrat has begun to rattle a cage. Now, whenever he posts to social media about his more frequent visits, or something he has done to “improve” the state, the comments section below the post ends up filled with derisive comments and support for his opponent.

Every Single Time.
