MARK PRYOR FOR UNITED STATES SENATE
U.S. Senator Mark Pryor is committed to putting the interests of Arkansas First. During his first term as Senator, Pryor earned a reputation as a “voice of reason,” working with both Democrats and Republicans to pass meaningful legislation for Arkansas and our nation. His bipartisan efforts have resulted in millions of highway dollars for Arkansas, the first increase in fuel economy standards in over 20 years and better benefits for our nation’s troops while they are in combat and when they return.
Pryor serves on six Senate Committees, including the powerful Senate Appropriations Committee. He was recently named Chairman of the Subcommittee on Agriculture Appropriations—a position that will allow him to prioritize funding for federal programs that benefit Arkansas farmers, producers, and rural communities, and keep Arkansas’s agricultural sector strong.
As a member of the Senate Commerce, Science, and Transportation Committee, Pryor is helping Arkansas address emerging transportation, technology and communications challenges. As Chairman of the Subcommittee on Communications, Technology, and the Internet, one of Pryor’s main priorities is helping rural communities meet growing infrastructure needs, including the disparity in broadband services.

JOHN BURKHALTER FOR LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
John Burkhalter believes that growing Arkansas’s economy starts with guaranteeing opportunity for every Arkansan. That is why he is running for Lieutenant Governor. John will grow our economy and support private sector efforts to create jobs by fostering entrepreneurship and small businesses, supporting companies in Arkansas and recruiting new industry to the state. John had the chance to live the American Dream because of the opportunities Arkansas afforded him. And now he wants to make sure that every Arkansan has the same chance.
From launching his first small piping business to managing multiple companies across the state and country, John has dedicated his life to creating good-paying jobs and making sure Arkansas’s economic future is brighter tomorrow than it is today.
Growing up in the small town of Sylvan Hills, John learned the values of hard work, perseverance and self-reliance. The values his parents taught him came in handy when John was a young engineer trying to start his first business. Despite his education and engineering experience, John couldn’t get banks to give him a second look, much less a business loan. Those first years were not easy. But that didn’t stop John. It inspired him. After seven years John and his team proudly grew operations to 27 states and hundreds of employees. From there, John went on to launch a series of new efforts to expand economic opportunity and development – from leading initiatives to construct roads and modernize utility lines to building offices and industrial parks.
John was honored to serve as the Chairman of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission and Governor Beebe appointed him to serve on the Arkansas Highway Commission. John is proud of his record of getting real results to develop a high-skilled workforce and create good-paying jobs across the state of Arkansas. He served with his wife as past Chairs of the UAMS Gala for Life and on the Board of Directors of Pathfinders, Inc.
John is a husband, father and hard-working small business owner who understands the importance of giving back to his community. John and his wife Penny have two daughters – age 10 and 13. They are members of St. James Methodist Church in Little Rock. John is an Eagle Scout and is a graduate of the University of Arkansas with a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering.
