Show Notes

In this meaningful episode of Small Town Girl, Gwen sits down with independent candidates Adam Watson (State Senate District 26) and Laura Marsh (House District 23) for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about the future of Arkansas politics. Both guests share why they chose to run as independents in a state dominated by party supermajorities, and what they believe voters are truly hungry for: good governance, transparency, and leadership that answers to people instead of party platforms.
