Pat O’Brien Denounces Garland Voting Fiasco
Pat O’Brien, a candidate for Arkansas Secretary of State, today strongly denounced the decision of the Garland County Election Commission to reduce the number of polling places for the June 8th Run-off Election to only two county-wide. In addition, he offered his own plan for how to avoid this situation in future elections along with encouraging voters in Garland County to vote anyway.

NWA Media Endorses Pat in Run-off Election June 8th
ARKANSAS SECRETARY OF STATE (DEMOCRAT): Had he won just a few thousand more votes Tuesday, Pulaski County circuit/county Clerk Pat O’Brien would have secured the Democratic nomination for secretary of state. Now he’s in a runoff with state Land Commissioner Mark Wilcox. O’Brien has great experience that includes fixing the Pulaski clerk’s office, which was an embarrassment before he took it over in 2005. O’Brien is extremely professional and committed to making the secretary of state’s office the best it can be. We endorse O’Brien.

Campaign Signs for the 21st Century
You have probably seen the political signs beginning to pop up like spring flowers in this election year. We will be doing something a little different in this campaign. While yard signs are a tradition in campaigns, they have not been proven to win or even significantly influence statewide races. It is time that this tradition evolve to meet the needs and opportunities of the 21st century. We will not be offering any physical yard signs, but rather deploying virtual yard signs across Arkansas.

We broke the record!
Just before the end of March, the O’Brien campaign officially raised more in contributions than any other candidate for Secretary of State in Arkansas history. In 2006, Charlie Daniels raised a total of $291,650 through the General Election. As of the end of March, we have raised $301,992! We are very proud of this accomplishment, but all of the thanks go to the thousands of Arkansans who have contributed to this campaign. Copies of our campaign finance reports can be seen here.
