“Ben Gilmore is the conservative leader that southeast Arkansas needs in the State Senate,” said Cotton. “He will fight for the unborn, protect our Second Amendment right, and stand up against the liberal mob that threatens our religious liberties. Arkansas conservatives need leaders like Ben in Little Rock, which is why I enthusiastically support him for State Senate in District 26.”
Gilmore issued the following statement:
“I am incredibly honored to receive the full support of Senator Cotton in my campaign for State Senate. Not only has Senator Cotton consistently and successfully stood against the liberal left’s socialist agenda in Washington, but he has fought tirelessly for our shared conservative values here at home.
“His endorsement adds even more momentum to my campaign as we march towards the fall with one thing in mind: victory in November.”
