3 in U.S. Senate race talk up their credentials, priorities [View all]

In his bid to unseat U.S. Sen. John Boozman, Democratic candidate Conner Eldridge says it's time for Arkansans to ditch the Republican incumbent and elect someone who has a more aggressive approach to serving the state in Washington, D.C.

"I plan to take my experience as a prosecutor and a no-nonsense, really nonpartisan apolitical approach full of common sense and a will to get things done to Washington," he said.

Boozman said he should be re-elected because he's "right on the issues, trying to limit government, trying to have a government that works, trying to watch our spending and trying to keep federal taxes to a minimum."
