Little Rock, AR – Today, Democrat and Arkansas native David Boling formally announced his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for the Second Congressional District seat in Arkansas. Boling resigned last week from his position as Chief of Staff to Congressman Vic Snyder (D, AR-2); he’ll stand for election in the Democratic primary.
The Arkansas primary election will be held May 18, 2010. Rep. Snyder announced last month that he would not seek re-election.
“Helping Congressman Snyder serve the people of the Second Congressional District in all matters—whether big or small—has been the most challenging and rewarding job that I’ve ever had,” Boling said in a statement. He added, “In order to continue that important work, I proudly announce my candidacy to represent the people of Arkansas in Congress. I will bring practical solutions to the problems facing the citizens of our state and our country.”
