I just found out today--
Although the Democratic candidate bowed out, Rebekah Kennedy is running against Womack on the Green ticket.

It also looks like there are several ballot initiatives:

#1 "Temporary" 1/2% sales tax for state highways, bridges, etc.
#2 Municipal and county financing of sales tax anticipated revenue bond projects, etc.
#3 Proposal to allow 4 casinos to be operated by Nancy Todd's Poker Palace in Arkansas, one each in Pulaski, Miller, Franklin and Crittenden counties
#4 Proposal to allow Arkansas Hotels and Entertainment to own seven casinos, one each in Sebastian, Pulaski, Garland, Miller, Crittenden, Boone, and Jefferson counties
#5 Arkansas Medical Marijuana Act
