Other Arkansas races
Candidate filings come from the Federal Election Commission and cover federal races only. Incumbent and challenger labels are the FEC’s own, as filed. Sitting members are matched to this seat by state and district, never by name — so a candidate listed here is not thereby identified as the office-holder. This corpus does not record which Senate class is on the ballot, so both of Arkansas’s senators are listed here and neither is identified as the holder of the contested seat. Data via the ElectedConnect API. Source records are public domain.
