Statement from
Benton County Democratic Candidates
The Democratic Party of Benton County is proud to support a fantastic slate of candidates running for county, state and federal seats to bring your voices and your values to your government. Recently the candidates have received requests to answer surveys from non-news organizations. In order to simplify the responses, and to make it easier for the voters across Arkansas to better understand just who we are as Democrats, and who they are as candidates, we are pleased to host a collective response, written by the candidates.
