LITTLE ROCK — Four Republicans filed to run for the U.S. Senate today and three Democrats running for constitutional offices escaped without opponents on the last day of the political filing period.
GOP state Sen. Gilbert Baker and Conrad Reynolds, both of Conway, and Springdale residents Randy Alexander and former state Sen. Jim Holt all filed to seek the Republican U.S. Senate nomination. They join four other Republicans who filed previously.
Meanwhile, Attorney General Dustin McDaniel and state Treasurer Martha Shoffner did not draw opponents from either party in their bids for re-election, and Secretary of State Charlie Daniels escaped uncontested in his bid for state auditor. All three are Democrats.
In all, 326 candidates filed to run for political office during the week-long filing period that ended at noon.
Also today, three more candidates for Congress filed to run in the May 18 party primaries.
State Sen. Steve Bryles, D-Blytheville, filed for the 1st District congressional seat held by U.S. Rep. Marion Berry, D-Gillett, who is not seeking re-election.
In the 2nd District congressional race, Republican Scott Wallace of Little Rock filed for the seat now held by retiring U.S. Rep. Vic Snyder, D-Little Rock.
In the 3rd District, former Republican state Rep. Doug Matayo of Springdale filed for the seat held by U.S. Rep. John Boozman, who is running for the U.S. Senate.
