Hallie Shoffner is a 6th-generation farmer and small-business owner running for the U.S. Senate to fight for working families.

Hallie grew up in Shoffner, a small farming community in the Arkansas Delta, raised in the fields alongside her farmer parents - learning to grow soybeans, rice, corn, cotton, and wheat. For the past nine years, she operated the family farm - making payroll, working with lenders and insurers, and balancing the realities of farming while raising a family. Like so many working parents, she knows the strain of long days and the hope of building a better future for her young son.

After a devastating year of rising costs, bad markets, new tariffs and no meaningful Farm Bill relief, Hallie made the hardest decision of her life: closing the farm to protect her parents’ land and retirement.

And while Arkansas families like hers struggle, Tom Cotton voted against the Farm Bill, against Medicaid, against economic development, and against disaster relief - while supporting tax cuts for billionaires and blowing up the national debt.

Hallie holds a degree from Vanderbilt University and a Master of Public Service from the Clinton School. She has worked to advance conservation, sustainable farming, and regional food production. A Presidential Leadership Scholar and board member of the Arkansas Foodbank, Hallie is a servant leader - not a politician. She didn’t plan to run for office. She wanted to farm. But if Hallie can’t farm, she’s going to fight - for families, for Arkansas, and for you.
