U.S. Rep. John Boozman, O.D., (R-Ark.) is being hailed as the frontrunner in one of the nation’s most highly-watched Senate races following what pundits are calling an impressive Republican primary victory.
The five-term representative from Arkansas’ 3rd Congressional District secured the Republican candidacy for the U.S. Senate seat, now held by Sen. Blanche Lincoln (D), by handily defeating seven other GOP candidates during the state’s May 18 primary elections.
