Arkansas Week: Race For Arkansas Treasurer

In an Arkansas PBS exclusive, the three candidates for state treasurer sat down for the first time together to discuss issues in the race. Secretary of State John Thurston, a Republican, former state senator John Pagan, a Democrat, and UA Little Rock Economic Development Institute Chief Economist Michael Pakko, a Libertarian, are vying for the position. They spoke with Arkansas Week host Steve Barnes. This election was mandated by the death of previously elected treasurer Mark Lowery while in office.

Finally someone who cares about the issues. Thank you Dr. Pakko

Pakko has a background in economics and finance AND isn’t beholden to the major political parties in power. He seems perfect for such a role!

Pakko was the only one that talked about issues. I actually learned something from him besides how to bicker.

PAKKO has my vote. I am tired of the smear campaigns.

Go John Pagan!

John Pagan is awesome! Thurston has got to go. I do not trust him; he has proven that he can't be.
