Senator Lincoln’s statement:

“My first priority is always to fight for the individuals and families of Arkansas during some tough choices that are being made in Washington.  However, I also know that I must prepare for a competitive election campaign.  That’s why I am humbled and honored that hundreds of new supporters have joined the campaign during the last year so that we can now count more than 4,500 donors.  I do not take this job for granted and know that I can’t do it alone.”
