LITTLE ROCK — The Republican nominee for lieutenant governor, Mark Darr, says Arkansas will get four years of the Democratic nominee, Shane Broadway, “saying, ‘Yes, sir’” to Democratic Gov. Mike Beebe if Broadway and Beebe are elected in November.
And that’s “going to be an ineffective and basically a wasted lieutenant governor’s spot,” said Darr of Springdale, an insurance agent who owns Mad Pizza Co. in Rogers and is making his first bid for elected office.
He said he would be a constitutional officer accountable to the people of Arkansas and independent enough to say when Beebe does a great job and when the governor doesn’t do a good job.
