Benton Native Ken Yang Announces Republican Bid for House District 83 “I will be ready to serve and fight for the people of District 83 on Day 1.”
Republican Ken Yang, born and raised in Benton, Arkansas, has officially announced his candidacy for State Representative, District 83, which includes portions of Saline County.
Ken’s campaign will focus on the conservative principles that have Arkansas’s economy booming and the family values that make our state the best place to live, work, and raise a family. No one knows that better than Ken, a first-generation immigrant of Taiwan.
In 1949, Ken’s father fled China during the Communist Revolution. In 1983, he immigrated to the United States, along with Ken’s mother, where they would eventually move to Arkansas and open what would become a staple in the Benton community, Sin-Sin restaurant.
For more than 30 years, Ken’s family owned and operated Sin-Sin, which is where Ken was first taught the importance of hard work, the value of a dollar, and the conservative foundation that has led Ken to pursue his own American Dream.
“After much thought and prayer, I am excited to announce my Republican candidacy for State Representative, District 83. Now more than ever, we need bold conservative leaders at the State Capitol – someone who will stand up to the woke mob and against Biden’s attempt to drive his liberal agenda down the throats of middle America. I will be that leader.
“My record is clear: for the past 10 years, I have fought for the conservative principles that empower parents, protect our children from indoctrination, and defend our families from Washington telling us how to raise our kids. I have fought alongside our conservative legislators to help make Arkansas the most pro-life state in the nation and have tirelessly defended our religious liberties, while advocating for lower taxes that benefit all Arkansans. And when the left waged war on women’s sports in Arkansas by trying to allow biological males to compete against them, I worked with those same members to put a stop those efforts.
“I am prepared, principled, and experienced, and with your prayers and support, I will be ready to serve and fight for the people of District 83 on Day 1.”
