Clark County Clinton Day Dinner

There was another full house at Henderson State University last night in Arkadelphia for the annual Clinton Day Dinner. Many elected officials and candidates were in attendance, including all three candidates for the open seat on the Arkansas Supreme Court, all three announced Democratic candidates for Secretary State, Rep. Monty Davenport, who's running for Land Commissioner, about 20 legislators, and several others. The three local legislators -- Sen. Percy Malone, Rep. Johnnie Roebuck and Rep. Randy Stewart -- all made remarks as well, as did DPA Chair Todd Turner. Most of the elected county and municipal officials from Clark and Pike Counties were in attendance.

Former Rep. Tommy Roebuck was named Democrat of the Year, and Heather Smith of Texarkana was named Young Democrat of the Year. House Speaker Robbie Wills gave the keynote address. Rep. Bruce Maloch (right) auctioned off a few items to help raise money for the local Democratic club. Here are a few other pics:
