(adg photo) Mayor Mark Stodola

The Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported Tuesday that Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola has shown an interest in the 2nd Congressional District seat that will soon be vacated by Rep. Vic Snyder. (He’s announced he won’t seek another term in order to spend more time with his family.)

The Democrat-Gazette reported that, “Stodola ran for Congress in 1996 and lost to Snyder in the Democratic primary by less than 2,000 votes.” The mayor told a reporter, “I think I’ve got one of the best jobs in the state already,” and added that “[As mayor] I can help people more quickly than Congress ever can.”

If Stodola runs, he’ll have to file in March and is still considering the idea. In the meantime, what do you think? Should Stodola run for Snyder’s seat?
