Welcome to "Arkies in the Beltway" for the week of Nov. 10, 2024. I'm Alex Thomas, Washington Correspondent for the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette with your look at national politics and the Arkansans influencing these discussions.

Arkansas' members of the U.S. House of Representatives had a successful Election Day.

All four incumbents — Republican Reps. Rick Crawford, French Hill, Steve Womack and Bruce Westerman — will return to Capitol Hill to continue their congressional careers.

In addition, Crawford, Hill and Westerman could begin the next Congress in January as committee chairs.

Sen. Tom Cotton, R-Ark., plans to stay in the Senate.

Cotton, of Little Rock, opted against joining Donald Trump's second administration to continue serving as senator. The move comes as Cotton eyes a spot on the Senate Republican leadership team.

STORY: As Trump forms second Cabinet, Cotton ‘very happy’ in U.S. Senate
