On April 5, 2025 demonstrators in about 1,300 "Hands Off" rallies across the country protested against President Trump
and the administration's plans and policies. Part of everyone's frustration is the absence of most Republican Congressmen
and Senators, including ours in Arkansas.
Diana Lawrence used this opportunity in front of a large crowd, on a cold, windy, rainy day,
to announce her campaign. She is running for US Congress for Arkansas District 3.
Incumbent Representative Steve Womack is no longer assured of winning reelection in 2026.
If our elected representatives will not exercise their responsibility to control Trump then they will face challengers in their elections.
I regret that I did not know about this town hall in our district in late March. It would have been a great opportunity
for me to introduce myself to angry voters. If you learn of opportunities like this please contact me. I do plan to
try arranging town hall meetings throughout my campaign.
COMPLETELY PACKED TOWN HALL in Northwest Arkansas today. Folks are lined up outside because the building is at capacity.
You guessed it: the ONLY empty seats are the ones for Rep. Steve Womack, Sen. Tom Cotton, and Sen. John Boozman.
Arkansas's no-show delegation CONTINUES to disappoint. They ARE NOT working for us.
The Democratic Party of Arkansas has a website tool where you can request your elected representatives have a town hall.

Our incumbent is famous for avoiding meeting with his constituents. During my campaign it is my
intent to organize my own visits with you, across our district. Somebody should hear your thoughts,
and I want to do that.
I'll tell you a bit about my campaign, but I also want to hear from you.
Between meetings (at any time) please contact Diana directly with your thoughts.
Diana can be reached by email, phone or text (dianalawrencecongress@yahoo.com, 479-235-0246).
I am a graduate from the Emerge Wisconsin program. Emerge, a national program with divisions in most states, aims to help delect Democratic women.
When I participated in the program this was a competitive program to enter, with an application, reference letters, interviews and a fee.
There were 25 students in my class.
I also completed the Camp Wellstone training program.
