Jeff Wadlin for US Senate - Arkansas 2026 US Inactive

WADLIN FOR SENATE 2026

ad creative

Ad copy

Are you disappointed with Cotton, but don't want to hand power back to the other party that screwed things up last time? With me, you get your most important conservative values, without the worst characteristics of a party-pawn like Cotton: Endless-war hawkishness, warrantless surveillance police state, blind autocratic loyalty, endless deficits & debt, culture wars, big government, political theater, and constant fear-mongering. And without all the liberal policies you don't want either: open borders, gun registries, nanny-state mandates, speech policing, limitless money printing, reckless spending, endless taxes, defund-the-police nonsense, abolish-ICE foolishness, or anti-business bureaucracy. Not Red. Not Blue. Just putting hardworking Arkansas families first.
