State Sen. Kim Hendren, R-Gravette, says he has loaned $200,000 to his campaign for U.S. Senate.

“I intend to raise the campaign funds for this race, but I wanted to show my fellow Arkansans that I am fully committed to being Arkansas’ next U.S. senator,” Hendren said in announcing the loan today.

Hendren is one of eight Republicans seeking their party’s nomination to challenge Democratic incumbent Blanche Lincoln next year. His announcement comes five days after former Arkansas Farm Bureau President Stanley Reed of Marianna announced his entry into the GOP field.
