Tom Cotton Issues Statement On The Arkansas Primary

Tom Cotton Issues Statement On The Arkansas Primary    Little Rock, Arkansas — U.S. Senate candidate Tom Cotton issued the following statement after polls closed tonight in the Arkansas primary:  "It is an honor to be the Republican nominee for U.S. Senate, and I want to thank all of my friends, family, supporters, and volunteers for their support so far.  I especially want to thank our grassroots Cotton Captains in all 75 counties across Arkansas who have helped us build our campaign throughout the primary.  I also want to congratulate all the other candidates who won their races tonight.  This year's ticket  will be the strongest Republican ticket top-to-bottom in our state's history, and if tonight's turnout is any indication, voters are ready to elect conservative leaders to steer the direction of our state and country." "Now that the general election has officially begun, I look forward to a spirited race with Senator Mark Pryor.  We will run and win on the issues in this campaign.  Senator Pryor has a record that is out-of-touch with Arkansas.  He has voted 95% of the time with President Obama to rubber-stamp his agenda of higher taxes, out-of-control deficit spending, job-killing regulation, bailouts, and Obamacare.  I look forward to contrasting Senator Pryor's lockstep support for the Obama agenda with my record of service and conservative leadership in the debates ahead."
