In a change of pace from our usual coverage, this week's "Arkies in the Beltway" episode focuses away from the nation's capital. Democrats from across the country — including Democratic National Committee chair Ken Martin — traveled to Little Rock last week for the State Association of Democratic Committee's annual spring meeting, during which members discussed voter outreach strategies and reflected on last year's election.
The meeting occurred four months after Martin ascended to the top position among national Democrats. Martin, who previously led Minnesota Democrats, has stressed the importance of state parties in his efforts to improve Democrats' election performance and overall image.
