JONESBORO – “I am looking forward to Richard joining our campaign,” said Crawford. “I know that Richard and I both agree that the liberal agenda in Washington, being led by Nancy Pelosi and Barack Obama, must have a check and balance to ensure that the voices of Arkansans in the First District will be heard. In the days and weeks ahead, I look forward to visiting with conservative Independents so they know where I stand on the critical issues facing our nation. I look forward to earning their votes, as well as conservative Democrats, on November 2nd “concluded Crawford.
