Woodrow Anderson III, a 33-year-old Fort Smith businessman, intends to file next week as a Democratic candidate for Arkansas’s third district U.S. congressional seat.

An infantry officer in the Army Reserve, Anderson says he decided to enter politics while attending a recent reserve officers’ conference in Washington, D.C.

“A lot of us are unhappy with where the country is going,” Anderson said. “As junior officers, we don’t have the opportunity to make a difference. But one place you can make a difference is running for federal office.”

1. Good

I thought it was dumb to leave the only Republican pickup in that state unopposed

2. It will be tough

My son works for Mike Ross in Arkansas.

Bill Clinton lost a race for that same seat many years ago (early 70s)
If Boozeman runs again and he's expected to, this will be an uphill race.

Thanks.

5. I'm not wild about his anti-abortion stance,

but this seat has not been held by a Dem since 1967. It would be nice to see it change from Repub to Dem.
