Rogers Mayor Steve Womack says he’s formed an exploratory committee in preparation for a potential campaign for the 3rd District congressional seat in western and northwestern Arkansas.

The incumbent, John Boozman of Rogers, is expected to announce this weekend that he will run for the U.S. Senate.

Womack, a Republican, isn’t the first Northwest Arkansas politician to express interest in replacing Boozman in Washington. State Sen. Cecile Bledsoe, R-Rogers, also has said she is seriously considering a run at the seat.
