WOW: Republicans Get BAD NEWS…in ARKANSAS?!

French Hill represents the 2nd District of Arkansas and has been in Congress since 2015. Now he chairs the powerful Banking Committee. He has increased his net worth about 10 times to $20 million while in Congress! Not bad for public service but he hasn’t helped his district succeed at all. Now he faces a true challenge with Dr. Chris Jones the former Democratic nominee for Governor taking him on with polls showing just a one point gap. Chris Jones grew up in Pine Bluff, Arkansas, where his parents taught him the values of faith, hard work, and service. He went on to earn five degrees—including two in nuclear engineering and a Ph.D. in urban planning from MIT—but his heart has always been in serving people and building a better Arkansas. As Executive Director of the Arkansas Regional Innovation Hub, he helped hundreds of entrepreneurs launch and grow businesses, introduced thousands of young Arkansans to STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) tools, and built a workforce program with a 90%+ job placement rate in high-demand careers like HVAC, plumbing, roofing, and welding. Chris and his wife, Dr. Jerrilyn Jones, an emergency medicine physician, are raising their three daughters in Little Rock. He and Fred Wellman sit down to discuss the failure of French Hill to improve the lives of his constituents and how Chris has a plan to turn it around.
