Clark Hall files for Congressional seat

Clark Hall released the following statement upon filing as an official candidate for Congress in Arkansas’s First District. Hall will host an online town hall with First District voters afterward at www.ustream.tv/channel/clark-hall-for-arkansas at 5:30 p.m. He will answer questions submitted by voters during and leading up to the town hall at news@clarkhallforarkansas.com.

Statement By Hall:

“Our Congress is broken and not willing to make tough choices to move our country forward. We all understand in Arkansas, in tough times, you need tough leaders to make tough choices. I’m tired of the nonsense going on in Washington. It’s time we rolled up our sleeves and fixed the problem.

“I filed to run for Congress because we need a little more Arkansas leadership and problem solving and a lot less Washington politics. I have no illusions about the problems we face. They are enormous. We are making our way through the worst national economy since the Great Depression, but I can promise you that political games and partisan fighting are not the answers to the problems we face. It’s time we get serious about the federal budget deficit in Washington. We ought to treat it the same way we treat our budget here in Arkansas or our family budget at the kitchen table. We must pay our bills. We must get spending under control. We must make things run more efficiently.

“Fighting for job opportunities and economic development and getting our federal budget in order will be my first and utmost priorities.

“Finding common sense solutions, building coalitions to solve our problems and always putting the people of Arkansas before politics will guide my every step as your next Congressman.”
