Democrat Celeste Williams, 44, of Bella Vista launched a Third District Congressional challenge to incumbent U.S. Rep. Steve Womack, R-Rogers, on Wednesday.

From Frisco Park in downtown Rogers, Williams rolled through a litany of issues she said will be discussed during her campaign. They include health care, pre-K, higher education, workforce development, immigration reform, tariffs and trade, and the growing budget deficit.

“I got into politics because I cannot allow this to be the world that is left for our children. We must make sure Arkansans have enough money in their pockets to have a life of financial stability and opportunity. I cannot put my children to bed at night and stand back and do nothing,” Williams told a crowd of about 150 who attended the early evening kick-off rally.       MORE
