KATV’s Janelle Lilley has the latest rundown of Arkansas politics in this Election Central Daily Brief.
STEEL RELEASES TV AD
Democratic candidate for attorney general, State Representative Nate Steel (D-Nashville), released his first TV ad on Friday (July 25).
The ad highlights Steel’s time as a prosecutor and his concerns with the parole system in Arkansas. He also takes a subtle shot at his opponent, Republican candidate Leslie Rutledge. Steel vows — as attorney general — to keep his focus on Arkansas seniors and families and not national political agendas. Steel’s ad runs in a 30-second and 60-second spot.
ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL
A few campaign events on the docket for Saturday:
Democratic gubernatorial candidate Mike Ross and Senator Mark Pryor will both attend the Johnson County Peach Festival and Parade.
Pryor’s opponent, Republican Representative Tom Cotton will hold a press conference on Saturday. Cotton is expected to announce a new “Veterans for Cotton” coalition.
ON TALK BUSINESS & POLITICS
On this Sunday’s Talk Business and Politics, the Libertarian and Green party candidates in the Senate race — Nathan LaFrance (L) and Mark Swaney (G) — are guests at the political roundtable.
Plus, a profile piece on Congressmen Cotton on and off the campaign trail.
