With Crawford's victory, Republicans will now occupy three of the four Arkansas seats in the U.S. House, as well as one of the two Arkansas seats in the Senate. The 4-2 GOP majority in the state's total congressional delegation is the first such majority since Reconstruction.

Crawford owns a farm-news network for radio broadcasts, while Causey was formerly chief of staff for Democratic Congressman Marion Berry, who chose not to seek re-election this year.
Green Party nominee Ken Adler was a negligible factor in the 1st District race.

The men allegedly tried to steal several items from a farm equipment store in England. They also fired two shots at one of the employees. Gene Kinsey, the parts manager the robbers shot at, caught the men in action.

He dodged the bullets unharmed. The business itself, however, needed a little more help to return to normal. Two trashed offices, several broken computers and a cash register area doused in gasoline. That's what Kinsey walked into after almost losing his life outside.

"That's where he fired twice at me," Kinsey said of the shooter. "I closed my door, rammed it in reverse and took off backwards."

Kinsey walked on to the property around 5:40 Friday morning for work. He says he found the front gate broken.

"And I noticed a bob truck and three forklifts out by the road which they aren't supposed to be there," Kinsey said.
