There appears to be a real race breaking out for Arkansas-2 in Central Arkansas. The Democrat, Clarke Tucker, is a bright young lawyer - cancer survivor - photogenic - personable. I count Clarke as a friend - he's a really good guy. The Republican, French Hill, is a Trumpster but primarily a NRA supporter - receiving $1 Million from the NRA over his tenure.
Central Arkansas is different from the rest of the State (including my district). There was a Democrat in the seat from 1991 to 2011. Little Rock is Democratic but the surrounding white-flight suburbs are marginally Republican. The District voted from TRump 52/42. The Democrats in Central Arkansas are excited. The "word" is that the internal polling of both campaigns are showing a close race. I have heard no public polling. A lot of out-of-state money (NRA, etc.) is coming into the Hill campaign.
Think how cool it would be for Arkansas to send a Democrat to Congress.
