WASHINGTON -- Real estate agent Natalie James of Little Rock, small-business owner Dan Whitfield of Bella Vista and Jack Foster, a former Pine Bluff City Council member, are running for U.S. Senate in this year's Democratic primary.
The winner faces an uphill battle in the general election as Arkansas remains a stronghold for Republicans.
Recent polling shows no clear front-runner with almost two-thirds of Democrats uncommitted to any of the three candidates.
In a poll of 597 likely Democratic primary voters, James captured 17% of the vote, whereas Whitfield came in with 15% and Foster with 5%.
