Sen. Tom Cotton to Keynote Marion County GOP Dinner

U.S. Senator Tom Cotton is scheduled to serve as the keynote speaker for the annual Marion County Republican Picnic Dinner on September 18.

A native of Dardanelle, Senator Cotton has represented the state of Arkansas in the Senate since 2015. In addition to his senatorial duties, he has served as the chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee since 2024. Bob Zdora, chairman of the Marion County Republican Committee, expressed great enthusiasm regarding the Senator's upcoming visit, noting that Cotton's demanding schedule in Washington, D.C., has made it difficult for him to visit northern Arkansas recently.

The event will be hosted at VFW Post 1341 in Bull Shoals. State Representative Jason Nazarenko, who represents District 4, will serve as the Master of Ceremonies for the evening's festivities.

The schedule for the event begins with a meet-and-greet session at 4:30 p.m., with the formal program officially starting at 5:30 p.m. Tickets are currently priced at $60 per person, while a table for six can be reserved for $360. Mr. Zdora noted that tickets are selling rapidly, so interested parties are encouraged to act quickly.

According to the committee, all donations and proceeds from the dinner will be used to support conservative Republican candidates as well as the Republican Women of Marion County Scholarships.

The dress code for the evening is casual. Those wishing to attend must submit their RSVP by September 1. For further information or to secure tickets, please contact Karen Carter at (870) 404-2065 or via email at carter@yellville.net.
