Business and banking leaders have banded together to choose our city council members. In addition, the mayor has identified her preference for city council members. We believe our citizens, the residents of each ward, should choose their own representatives. Choose wisely\u2014but vote today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local Races To Watch:<\/strong>
Local turnout should be high, with two Pine Bluff natives running for statewide office. Chris Jones has garnered national attention in his bid for Arkansas Governor. In addition, former city councilman Jack Foster is running for United States Senate. Foster has been a long-time Republican, however, he is running in the Democratic Primary. He was also previously convicted for public corruption. Other races to keep an eye on are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
