So I went to Wikipedia to look at the 2016 Congressional Election results. The second state alphabetically is “Arkansas” so I looked at that.
Here’s the 2016 results from Arkansas.
What we see is that out of 4 seats, only one seat even had a Democrat running.
That’s kind of inexplicable isn’t it? I mean maybe Democrats aren’t super popular in Arkansas, but shouldn’t the Democrats at least have a candidate in every race?
And how much would it cost to run a modest campaign? Even with $50,000 someone could print up some leaflets or whatever.
I hope in 2018 that the Democrats put up a credible candidate in every race. If you don’t run then you can’t win. I bet there are even some readers of this website who live in those very districts. If you see a race without anyone running, why not jump in???
