Dear Bentonville
Dear Bentonville,
I love you.
Not in that first sight kind of way, the kind of love that grows over months and years, as I’ve watched how you’ve changed lives of my family, and our community.
This is the part where I’m supposed to tell you about me, but I don’t want to do that because it’s not about me, it’s about us.

I want to talk about how much I love you Bentonville, because that’s why I’m running. You are where my daughter was born, where we’ve watch our kids grow up. You are full surprise, both in what you’ve created in the past, and what you hold for the future. I trust you to welcome people from all walks of life the way you welcomed me.
You are the heart and soul of our state- you create energy and drive and help us feel more deeply. You are unexpected, filled with roads less traveled, and no matter where we’re from, you are home to all of us.
I love you, Bentonville.
And when we love something, we have to take care of it, and that’s why I’m running.
Yours Always,
Gayatri Agnew
Candidate for AR State House District 93
