Republican Meeks may challenge Snyder

Republican David Meeks has formed an exploratory committee and Web site to gauge a possible race against Rep. Vic Snyder, D-Little Rock, for Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District seat.

Meeks, of Conway, formed the Web site whoisdavidmeeks.com to allow people to “find out who I am, what I believe, and how to get involved in the campaign,” the site states. The Web site also provides links to Meeks’ Facebook page and Twitter account, as well as information about his positions on various issues, upcoming events and ways to volunteer.

He is scheduled to speak today at 11:30 a.m. at a meeting of the Faulkner County Republican Women.

Meeks would be vying for the seat Snyder has held since 1997. Snyder, responding to rumors that he may not be seeking re-election, has stated definitively that he intends to run in 2010.

Snyder has been criticized in ads by the National Republican Congressional Committee for his vote to block an investigation into when House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., learned about waterboarding by the CIA.
