LITTLE ROCK, AR — Both candidates for governor zigzagged the state Monday in a final push to election day.
Mike Ross got some help at an evening rally from fellow Democrat and current governor Mike Beebe.
During the rally at Ross’ campaign headquarters in downtown Little Rock, Beebe thanked supporters working for the campaigns during this election cycle.
When Ross took the stage, he talked about his ability to work across the isle.
The Republican in the race — Asa Hutchinson — joined fellow GOP candidates for a rally of their own Monday morning at Burns Park in North Little Rock. Hutchinson urged the crowd to work to make sure everyone gets to the polls to cast a ballot. To make that point, he drew off something said by President Bill Clinton over the weekend at a rally for Ross.
“I noticed that [Clinton] made his argument that this race could come down to 30,000 thousand votes… urging his team to get out the votes,” Hutchinson said. “I’m here today to say let’s get out our votes and counter that.”
Hutchinson is a former congressman, head of the DEA and federal prosecutor. Playing off his legal background, he said his “closing argument is about jobs.”
As for Ross, the rally in Little Rock was one of 17 the candidate has participated in or has planned over the last 55 hours of the race.
