Senate District 7 candidates Lisa Parks and Colby Fulfer each sat down to talk to Northwest Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reporter Doug Thompson about their campaigns, their qualifications and their priorities as candidates for Arkansas Senate.
Fulfer, 43, is a former Springdale City Council member and a real estate investor who campaigns as a social and fiscal conservative with experience managing budgets. He says in his campaign that the Legislature is too focused on divisive issues and needs to concentrate more on pragmatic problem-solving.
Parks, 56, specializes in child welfare in her law practice and also serves as a public defender. She emphasizes more assistance for children and families in her campaign, saying the Legislature is too focused on tax cuts for the wealthy.
