Retired Army Colonel Marcus Jones has announced his plans to run as a Democrat for Republican Rep. French Hill’s 2nd Congressional District seat in Arkansas.
A retired Army colonel has announced he's running as a Democrat for a Republican-held U.S. House seat that includes Little Rock and central Arkansas. Marcus Jones filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission Monday night for the 2nd Congressional District seat held by Republican U.S. Rep. French Hill, who was first elected to the seat in 2014. Jones retired Sept. 30 from the U.S. Army after 29 years of active service, including multiple deployments to Iraq and Kuwait.
Republicans have held the 2nd District seat since 2011 and Democrats have tried unsuccessfully to reclaim it in recent years. The GOP holds all four of Arkansas' U.S. House seats and its two Senate seats. The state filing period to run for office in Arkansas begins on Nov. 6.
