Arkansas Special Election: Holladay vs Renshaw
•
Arkansas voters in House District seventy face a special election and primary on March third, with Democrat Alex Holladay and Republican Bo Renshaw vying for the seat vacated by Republican State Representative Carlton Wing. Holladay, a healthcare administrator, faces off against Renshaw, a physical therapist, in the special election, while primaries determine nominees for Novembers general election. Both candidates emphasize voter education as a challenge, as ballots require two votes for the short-term special seat and primary. Renshaw holds a fundraising advantage, while Holladay narrowly lost to Wing in the 2024 race. Holladay advocates for free lunches for all public school kids and opposes Sanderss prison plan, while Renshaw focuses on health insurance premiums, public safety, and education. Democrats highlight their recent special election wins, while Republicans boast of their supermajorities and legislative victories. Turnout will be crucial in this low-profile race, with both camps working to clarify confusion and boost voter turnout on March third.
