Breaking Down the Arkansas Candidate Filing Deadline

(As I go to post, Mississippi does not have an official candidate set yet on Ballotpedia)

Senate
3 Democrats. 4 Republicans, and Kenneth Cates (L) are running for this office. The most notable Republican is incumbent John Boozman.

House

District One will have Roger Daugherty (L) square off against Monte Hodges (D) and the winner of the Republican Primary, which includes incumbent Rick Crawford (R)

District Two will have Michael White (L) square off against Quintessa Hathaway (D) and the winner between incumbent French Hill (R) and Conrad Reynolds (R).

District Three will have Michael Kalagias (L) square off against Lauren Mallett-Hays (D) and the winner between incumbent Steve Womack (R) and Neil Kumar (R).

District Four already has their general election candidates, with Gregory Maxwell (L) squaring off against John White (D) and incumbent Bruce Westerman (R).

Governor
Arkansas will have new Governor with Asa Hutchinson (R) being termed out. On a humorous note, Elvis Presley (I) is running for office. In all seriousness, Arkansas will be the first test of the Trump legacy, with former White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders (R) running in the primaries.
