FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Democratic Presidential hopeful and U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar will be stopping in Fayetteville on Super Tuesday.
An Amy for American rally will take place Tuesday, March 3 at the Drake Field Airport Air & Military Museum. Doors open at 9:30 a.m. and the rally starts at 10 a.m.
Klobuchar is the second candidate to visit Northwest Arkansas ahead of Super Tuesday.
Chair of the Washington County Democratic Party, Debby Winters says they are excited the presidential candidates are paying attention to Arkansas.
“Arkansas is a really important state. And we are really excited what we are doing in Northwest Arkansas, Benton and Washington County and having Bloomberg have an office here and then Amy come a couple of times and then Elizabeth Warren. It’s just really a good time for us and we are very excited about it," she said.
Mike Bloomberg spoke with supporters in Bentonville Thursday (Feb. 27).
“One thing I think is they see Arkansas is up for grabs. There is no clear front runner here and the ones that are wanting it are working hard, are coming to visit and trying to get it," she said.
Early poll numbers show Bernie Sanders has a slight lead over other Democrats in the Natural State heading into Super Tuesday.
