Dr. Chris Jones: The Arkansas Race That Could Shock the World | At Our Table

We sit down with Dr. Chris Jones, the Democratic nominee in Arkansas' 2nd Congressional District, as he takes on House Financial Services Chair French Hill. A Pine Bluff native who went to Morehouse on a NASA scholarship and earned three graduate degrees from MIT, he brings a scientist's question to politics: where do you get the most leverage to help people? We discuss his debate with Hill, how tariffs and the Iran war are squeezing Arkansas farmers, Medicaid cuts that put rural hospitals at risk, and the redistricting that moved 25,000 voters out of the district, while confronting a hard truth: Arkansas gets overlooked, and that lets it become an incubator for some of the nation's worst policies. His challenge is clear: Democrats have to make the long-term investment, break the soil, and keep it broken.
