Governor Beebe opens local HQ in Texarkana

Governor Beebe traveled to Texarkana yesterday to open up the regional Headquarters for the coordinated campaign. While the HQ will support all Democratic candidates, the bulk of the funding ($1.2 million for the statewide effort) has come from Beebe's fundraising. Both parties now have open and active campaigns in Miller County. Locally, there are only a few contested races: Miller County Judge, a JP race, and a couple of non-partisan races (Texarkana mayor, Ashdown mayor). Here's more from the Texarkana Gazette.
