Bequette, a Little Rock native, is a former all-SEC Razorback football player who was drafted by New England and played on the Patriots’ Super Bowl XLIX championship team. Following his pro football career, he joined the United States Army, graduated from the U.S. Army Ranger School and was deployed to Iraq as part of the 101st Airborne Division. Since returning to Arkansas, he launched The Arkansas Fund, a nonprofit organization that raised more than $125,000 to help 37 small businesses affected by the pandemic.
“I’m proud to have the support of business, community, and political leaders from across Arkansas who recognize that we need conservative fighters in Washington now more than ever,” Bequette said in a press release. “As we enter 2022, my campaign is going to be fueled by our grassroots supporters, and it’s an honor to have leaders in every corner of the state who are going to help push us to victory.”
