Rogers, AR: Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate Mark Darr released the following statement today, "Lieutenant Governor Halter has grown the budget of his office substantially in the past four years while Lieutenant Governor Win Rockefeller held the line and kept the budget of his office in check.  Should I be elected to the office of Lieutenant Governor, I will work to serve my constituents in an efficient manner and be a good steward of taxpayer dollars much like Lieutenant Governor Rockefeller."
 
Darr, an advocate of transparency and accountability in state government offered his support of reasonable cuts to the Lieutenant Governor’s budget.  “State government has grown too large.  We must consider reasonable spending cuts in the offices of all statewide elected officials,” remarked Darr.

Rogers, AR: Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate Mark Darr is happy to
announce the endorsement of State Representative Allen Kerr.

serious blow to the state economy. I am committed to working with
Representative Kerr to help bring transparency to Arkansas state
government.” stated Darr.

Rogers, AR: Republican Lieutenant Governor candidate Mark Darr proudly
signed the Americans for Tax Reform Taxpayer Protection Pledge earlier
today. Darr stated, “I am firmly committed that I will oppose all efforts
to increase taxes. It seems in today’s society, politicians want to tax
first and ask questions later. I support the ATR and their effort to bring
transparency and accountability to government.”

Americans for Tax Reform was founded by Grover Norquist in 1985. Since
1986, ATR has sponsored the Tax Payer Protection Pledge after President
Ronald Reagan endorsed the idea. It encourages candidate to put their
promise to not raise taxes into writing.

Darr joins a small handful of Arkansans who have signed the pledge. He is
the only candidate for Lieutenant Governor to sign the pledge.
