ETHAN J. BARNES THANKS YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT AND VOTE THIS ELECTION DAY TUESDAY IN ARKANSAS SENATE DISTRICT 22 RACE
BATESVILLE, AR—Ethan J. Barnes, a Republican, is running for the Arkansas Senate. Barnes, a life-long resident of District 22, will seek office in the newly redrawn Senate District 22, which includes all of Independence County, Sharp County, and portions of Fulton, Izard, Lawrence, and Cleburne counties. Barnes released the following statement:
“Thank you to each and every person for the prayers, phone calls, texts, letters, and overall support for the campaign over the last several months. I have enjoyed visiting with many constituents across the district. I have heard your needs, concerns, and requests— I am ready to take your voices to the Arkansas Senate. I am thankful and blessed to have the opportunity to represent the people of District 22 in our state assembly, but I need your help in the coming days. As we make the final stretch across the finish line, I humbly ask for your support and voting consideration this Tuesday on May 24th. I am asking you to get out and vote. Take a moment and review the free ArkansasVotersGuide.com from Family Council for more information. Our vote is the only way for our voices to be heard,” Barnes said.
“I am a product of rural Arkansas. This is home. We labor day in and day out to protect the freedoms and liberties that our families enjoy and for which our ancestors fought. We work hard in Arkansas, and I believe anyone who threatens our constitutional freedoms should be challenged, foreign or domestic,” Barnes said.
He continued, “Our freedoms are under attack. It is time we elect a Senator who will fight for all Arkansans— who will be honest, who will form an educated and thoughtful decision, and who will be available to District 22. It is time for a change in our representation!”
“We need strong, vocal, and thoughtful leadership in the Arkansas Senate. Arkansas is a proud place to call home, and I refuse to sit back any longer and allow lukewarm representation in Little Rock for our state. We need to promote lower taxes and size of government to stimulate a better economy, safeguard our Second Amendment rights, enforce election integrity, and fight for the lives of the unborn. We do not need any more government mandates. I will always vote for our communities in North Central Arkansas—the people deserve to be heard. I humbly ask for your vote now through Tuesday, May 24, 2022, in the Arkansas Preferential Primary Election. Let us win back our district. Request the Republican ballot. Vote Common Sense for District 22. Vote Barnes for a Better Arkansas,” he concluded.
