Official Status of Tom Cox for Senate Campaign

I am announcing my withdrawal from the race for U.S. Senate. After much prayer and deliberation, I realized that it is in the best interest of my family, my business and the Republican Party that I withdraw from the race. It is very difficult to balance my family and business obligations with the demands of running for political office. I am looking forward to celebrating my company, Aloha Pontoons, 50th anniversary in March 2010. My campaign has given me a much deeper respect for those individuals in public service.

I am excited about the future of the Republican Party and the Arkansas Tea Party and look forward to assisting in their efforts to serve the people of Arkansas. I will support the Republican Party Nominee and believe that the Republican Party will be very successful in the November elections.

Thank you to all my supporters. It was great seeing old friends and meeting new ones on the campaign trail.

God Bless,

Tom Cox
