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.
