LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Arkansas state Sen. Fred Love announced Monday he's seeking the Democratic nomination to challenge Republican Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders next year.
Love, who represents a Little Rock district, said he was running 'because I believe Arkansas works best when it works for all of us.'
Love has served in the state Senate since 2023 and before that had served six terms in the state House. As part of his announcement, Love said he will campaign on an economic development plan that included expanded access to startup capital, infrastructure, and grants for small businesses.
