LITTLE ROCK – Former prosecutor and U.S. Attorney Conner Eldridge raised more than $400,000 in the first 21 days of his candidacy for the U.S. Senate. From the day he first announced his candidacy on Sept. 9, 2015, to the end of the third quarter on Sept. 30, 2015, Eldridge raised $403,039.63. He ended the quarter with $400,761.32 cash on hand.
“I am excited and encouraged by the momentum we have seen for our campaign in just 21 days,” said Eldridge. “Arkansans are tired of a broken federal government that grows bigger and bigger every day, and career politicians like John Boozman have done nothing to fix it – in fact, they’ve only made it worse. I am running to show that one senator can shake up the status quo and make a difference in the lives of Arkansas families, and our message is clearly resonating.”
Eldridge will formally launch his campaign on Saturday, Oct. 17 at 11 a.m. at his family’s fourth-generation farm supply company in Augusta, Ark. The event will take place at Eldridge Supply Company, 1570 US-64, Augusta, AR 72006.
