CONWAY – Republican United States Senate candidate Col. Conrad Reynolds (US Army, Ret.) today announced his plans to visit Fairfield Bay as part of his statewide veterans listening tour to discuss the challenges facing Arkansas veterans and their families.
Reynolds will be hosting the listening event on Tuesday, September 21, at the Indian Hills Country Club Golf Pavilion at 337 Snead Dr from 2-4 p.m.
“Throughout our history, America’s men and women have answered the call of duty and stood fast by their post. We are here because of them. Our way of life is protected because of them. And our government exists because of them,” Reynolds said. “We must do right by our veterans – they are the heroes of yesterday, today and tomorrow.”
Reynolds, a 29-year veteran of the United States Army, began his military career in December 1979 by enlisting in the Reserve in 1979, joining the 318th Military Intelligence Detachment based in Jonesboro. He earned his commission and joined the regular Army once he graduated from the University of Central Arkansas in 1982.
“The reason I am running for Senate is that I am frustrated with the lack of leadership in Washington,” Reynolds said. “Veterans need to be represented. I look forward to visiting with my friends from Van Buren and Cleburne counties, as well as my brothers and sisters in uniform who proudly stood their post and served their country.
“As a veteran, and having friends and family who have had problems with the VA, I know that our system is loaded with inefficiencies,” Reynolds said. “With less than a quarter of Congress having served in the military, the voice of veterans is limited. My vow is to represent the needs and concerns of Arkansas veterans and their families in the United States Senate and restore the voice of veterans across the nation.”
