Recently, this forward-looking organization has gained national attention for its plans to fight for progressive values across the South. Over the last 20 months, Naturally Blue traveled across the country, listening to the frustrations and ideas of countless voters.
"Today, people are fed up with politics as usual. Naturally Blue has to be about more than simply winning elections and maintaining the status quo. More than anything else, Naturally Blue is about restoring America's faith in the political process," said Nate Looney, President of Naturally Blue.
Naturally Blue's launch tonight will mark the beginning of its efforts to make Democratic gains in Northwest Arkansas.
"Arkansas Democrats have always been about responsible leadership, relationships, and big ideas--these are beliefs that can win in any region. Whether we are in Blytheville or Bentonville, strong leadership matters to Arkansans. As Democrats, we have plenty of talent in Northwest Arkansas that should be competing each election cycle. For years, we have overlooked our opportunity to make huge gains in this area," said Looney. "Northwest Arkansas is the engine of our state's growth, and Democrats are committed to continuing down the right path. The Democratic party and Northwest Arkansas are a natural fit: I know we can win here."
