Woodrow Anderson III, a 33-year-old Fort Smith businessman, intends to file next week as a Democratic candidate for Arkansas’s third district U.S. congressional seat.

An infantry officer in the Army Reserve, Anderson says he decided to enter politics while attending a recent reserve officers’ conference in Washington, D.C.

“A lot of us are unhappy with where the country is going,” Anderson said. “As junior officers, we don’t have the opportunity to make a difference. But one place you can make a difference is running for federal office.”

Got this in an email from a Viet Nam Vet Against War who lives in Newton County AR:

Woody Anderson, from Fort Smith, a 34-year-old Army veteran, family man, Rhodes Scholar, MBA, passionate about peace and supporting veterans and all-around neat guy is running against john "rubber stamp" boozman for congress. He will make one of his announcement stops at 2PM, March 28th on the steps of the Benton County courthouse on the square in Bentonville. We need a CROWD to welcome and encourage him. I believe he'll also be making one at the DPA office in Fayetteville (Spring street) soon as well. I'll get back to you with the details. We could use your support, guys. Please come.


Hi and welcome to DU, Lt. Governor 2B :hi:

I'd like to know if he's coming to Fayetteville when I can go hear him.

someone who can represent my views--including being pro-life. I know this may be a polarizing stance for some of you, but if our party doesn't do a better job of running candidates who represent the views of a majority of Arkansans and Americans, then we'll keep on getting the same kind of people in the Governor's Mansion, the House, Senate and the White House.

Welcome to DU!! :toast:
