Blacks enter eight legislative races in Arkansas this year, aiming for two guaranteed seats and potentially more. Nineteen blacks, ten Republicans and eight Democrats, run in districts drawn by last year’s reapportionment, giving blacks representation for the first time this century. In Little Rock districts 3 and Senate District 3, black candidates contend against white opponents, while two black candidates face off in District 3 Senate. Democrats see near parity in black candidates with Republicans, reflecting a shift from 1970 when no black Democrats ran. The reapportionment and evolving climate influence the candidates and party strategies across multiple races. In unrelated notes, seniors in Honolulu projects and day care centers are discussed, and a separate Arkansas incident reports a man killed when struck by a trailer after it detached from a stalled tractor trailer on Arkansas 330 near Clinton.
