Arkansas Democrat Hallie Shoffner, running for U.S. Senate, is backing a carbon agenda similar to AOC's Green New Deal. Video footage shows Shoffner aligning with progressive climate policies that have become divisive in red-state races.
The endorsement could complicate her campaign in a state where energy independence and fossil fuel jobs remain politically sensitive. Shoffner's climate stance mirrors national Democrats' push for aggressive emissions targets—a position that typically underperforms in Arkansas.
