Arkansas Educational TV will host a debate between all four candidates on the ballot for U.S. Senate, on October 13. The candidates are Democratic incumbent Blanche Lincoln, Republican John Boozman, Green Party nominee John Gray, and independent Trevor Drown. This is believed to be the first televised debate for a statewide office in Arkansas that includes a Green Party nominee.
Arkansas Educational TV has also invited the Green Party nominee in the U.S. House race, district one, into a debate for that U.S. House race.
A recent poll showed Boozman ahead of Lincoln, 65% to 27%.
