My name is Hallie Shoffner, and I'm running for U.S. Senate. I’m a sixth-generation Arkansas rice farmer. I grew up in the fields, and for the last nine years, I was the primary operator of my family's farm.
But in February, like hundreds of farmers across the country and dozens across the state, I had to shut it down. Not because I didn’t work hard. Not because I didn’t know what I was doing. But because we are operating under bad policy and total indifference from Washington.
My story is like a lot of other Arkansas stories - one that tells how long our leaders in D.C. have abandoned the people of our state. I decided that if I cannot farm, I will fight for farmers, for my neighbors, for my community, and for my state.
To lift Arkansas’s economy, you have to experience it first-hand. You have to understand our largest industry, agriculture. You have to understand the businesses that support that industry - like truckers and mechanics and the workers who process our crops.
You have understand how people live, right here, right now. Whether you are in a small town or one of our cities, we all struggle with the costs of basic needs like groceries, doctors visits and medications, mortgages or rent payments, utility bills, rising insurance costs, and car payments.
I understand that.
If you send me to the Senate, we’ll rebuild Arkansas's economy from the ground up.
I’m a farmer. From the ground up is what I do.
Chip in here to support Hallie for Arkansas!
