Arkansas Congressional District 1 Candidates: Where Do They Stand on Obamacare?

Little Rock, Ark. – The Republican Party of Arkansas (RPA) today called on First Congressional District Candidate Rep. Clark Harvell, D-Marvell, to join primary opponent Prof. Gary Latanich, D-Jonesboro, and announce his position on President Barack Obama’s signature health care law.

“Rep. Clark Hall needs to let voters in the First District know exactly where he stands on Obamacare,” said RPA Communications Director Katherine Vasilos. “Rep. Hall supports the state implementation of a health insurance exchange, which is the first step in establishing President Obama’s job-killing health care law in Arkansas. First District voters deserve a leader willing to stand up to the failed policies of Barack Obama. In 2012, we look forward to re-electing Congressman Rick Crawford, who has already voted to repeal the President’s deeply flawed health care law.
