Mark Silvey, a pastor and businessman from Hope, aims to knock off state Sen. Steve Crowell of Magnolia in the March 5 Republican primary, saying he would give Senate District 3 a consistent conservative who "will represent the people rather than big money corporations, PACs and lobbyists."

Senate District 3 includes Clark, Columbia, Lafayette and Nevada counties and parts of Hempstead, Hot Spring and Pike counties.

Crowell, a businessman, has served in the state Senate since 2023. In the 2022 primary election, he ousted Republican state Sen. Charles Beckham of McNeil.

He said he is running for re-election "to continue what I began working towards since my election.

"I have shown that I am a senator who will listen to what is going on in our communities and who has worked to solve the real issues in front of us," Crowell said.
