The Miller County Democratic Party turned out to
support U. S. Senator Mark Pryor's bid for re-election in 2014 at a fundraising
event in Little Rock highlighted by Former President Bill Clinton, Governor
Mike Beebe and former Governor and Senator David Pryor.
Senator Mark Pryor understandably faces ongoing assault from
the Republican party and "shell" organizations such as the
conservative Club for Growth which have optimistic names cloaking hidden
dangerous agendas. Even without an
announced Republican candidate, it is clear that the Republican party intends
to focus much of it's energy (and money) on defeating Sen. Mark Pryor in an
effort to win control of the Senate next year.
Using the charisma and common sense manner of speech that
helped elect him as Arkansas Governor and propel him into two terms as
President, President Clinton addressed the enthusiastic crowd at the State
House Convention Center stating the following about Sen. Mark Pryor, "the
reason this is a race of national sign is because it's about whether a senator
who cares about his own people more than ideological purity can be financed,
elected, lifted by the people he has served in the face of all these crazy
currents that are taking America and tearing it to shreds". If the million dollars raised that night and
the electric current pulsing through the room are any indication, the
Republican Party is going to find a formidable opponent in Senator Pryor and
his voting record.
