(AP) – Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson hasn’t formally announced
his plans to seek a second term, but is already raising money for his
re-election bid.
The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reports a fundraiser for the Republican
governor’s 2018 campaign is set for Thursday night at the Capital Hotel in
downtown Little Rock.
The cost to attend is $500 for a guest, $2,700 for a sponsor and $5,400 for a
co-host. Hutchinson’s political strategist and consultant Jon Gilmore says the
invitation for the fundraiser was sent to a small group of past donors. Gilmore
says there is no timeline set for when Hutchinson will formally launch his
re-election campaign.
No Democrats have announced a bid so far to challenge Hutchinson.
