Asa Hutchinson airs boring television ad

Asa Hutchinson's strategy in running for governor appears to be positioning himself as a generic Republican, so I suppose it's no surprise to see him airing an almost perfectly generic ad.

Mike Ross introduces pre-k plan, pledging access for all 4-year-olds in Arkansas by 2025

Speaking before a classroom of 4-year-olds at Fair Park Early Childhood Center, Democratic candidate for governor Mike Ross, introduced his plan for early childhood education, which would aim to provide universal access to high-quality pre-k for all 4-year-olds in the state. Ross's plan would provide a small amount of additional funding to maintain the quality of existing programs and increase the eligibility of the Arkansas Better Chance program, currently available to kids that make below 200 percent of the federal poverty level. Ross's plan would eventually guarantee a slot in ABC for all 4-year-olds in the state — free for kids below 300 FPL, at half price for kids 300-400 FPL, and at full price for kids above 400 FPL.
