Senator Blanche Lincoln will be challenged
in a Democratic primary this May.
Lisa Burks of Hot Springs announced her candidacy yesterday. She
is the former president of the National Organization for Women`s
Hot Springs chapter and an ex-vice president of NOW`s Arkansas
chapter.
She wants to challenge Lincoln for her support of Republican
President George Bush`s initiatives -- such as the resolution for
war in Iraq, the PATRIOT Act and the recent Medicare prescription
drug bill.
Lincoln also received a new Republican challenger today. A
spokesman for former Benton County Sheriff Andy Lee said Lee will
announce his official candidacy Saturday in Rogers. Lee joins State
Representative Jim Hunt and former Maumelle City Councilman Tom
Formicola in the Republican primary race.
Lincoln said through a spokesman that she welcomes challenges in
the primary and the November general election.
