• Arkansas Democrat-Gazette: AN EDITORIAL for Princella Smith
  Every congressional district should have a candidate who’s this outgoing, smart and just plain eager to get to work on your behalf-and with enough enthusiasm to light up the wholestate from her home in Wynne, Ark. Heck, every congressional district ought to have three or four candidates like her in both primaries, so voters could choose from the best of the best. Every few years, maybe every decade, a candidate for public office comes to the paper and the editorial writers are sorry to see the interview end. (Can you come back tomorrow? Next Thursday?)  
  
  
• CivicForumPAC: Princella Smith is a new kind of candidate. The right kind.

• TownHall.com: Run, Princella, Run!
  Some voters in Arkansas’1st Congressional District will believe that Princella Smith is just too young to be a congresswoman.  Doing business on Capital Hill requires wisdom and life experience; at 26-years-old, Smith is just a baby.  Of course, age was not an issue for Edward Rutledge, who at 26 signed the Declaration of Independence.  Nor was age an issue for Amelia Earhart, who at 25 set an altitude record for female aviators.

• Women of the GOP: 26 Year Old Princella Smith for Congress in Arkansas
  Anyone who has ever called the GOP the "party of old white guys" has obviously never met Princella Smith. Not only is she a proud member of the GOP, but she's young, she's black, and she's a woman. Oh, and she's running for Congress in Arkansas. So just who is this young woman who's taking the "Natural State" by storm?

Despite the Democratic hold, the Northeast Arkansas district is rated "R+8" by Cook Partisan Voter Index.  Hence, this race is a golden opportunity to elect both a conservative and a Republican into Congress.
