FAYETTEVILLE (KFSM) - In a "5NEWS This Morning" segment that aired on Sept. 21, John Burkhalter, the Democratic lieutenant governor candidate, spoke with 5NEWS Managing Editor Larry Henry about a range of issues, including the minimum wage proposal on the November ballot and whether there is even a need for a lieutenant governor in Arkansas. Burkhalter's opponent in the Nov. 4 election is U.S. Rep. Tim Griffin, R-Ark.
After the show was taped, Mike Kaiser, a Burkhalter staff member, sent an email to clarify that Burkhalter's reference to Griffin's tenure in Washington includes service at the Republican National Committee, the White House and now in Congress.
