Pete Buttigieg backs Dr. Chris Jones for Arkansas’ 2nd Congressional District seat
LITTLE ROCK, AR (KATV) — Pete Buttigieg, the former U.S. secretary of transportation and former mayor of South Bend, announced today that he is endorsing Dr. Chris Jones to represent Arkansas’s Second Congressional District in Congress.
Buttigieg is scheduled to travel to Little Rock on Friday, June 19, to campaign alongside Jones.
“I’m honored to have Pete Buttigieg’s endorsement and excited to welcome him to Little Rock,” Jones said.

“Pete is one of the strongest messengers in the country because he keeps the focus where it belongs: on the kitchen table issues shaping people’s lives, from the price of gas and groceries to the cost of housing and health care. Those are the same issues I hear about every day from families across Arkansas’s Second Congressional District. Pete understands what is at stake in this race for Arkansas families who deserve better representation and for the direction of our country. I’m proud to have him standing with us.”
Buttigieg said Jones is the kind of candidate he wants to support.
“Chris Jones is a leader rooted in his community, with a vision for building prosperity in Arkansas brick by brick,” Buttigieg said.
“At a time when politics can feel like it’s punching you in the face, Chris is focused on a better future where entrepreneurs thrive, young people can find good-paying jobs, and politicians are held accountable. A scientist, an ordained minister, and someone who knows how to bridge divides, Chris would make an excellent representative in Congress – and I’m proud to join him on the campaign trail.”
While serving as U.S. secretary of transportation, Buttigieg highlighted investments made in airfield safety during the Biden-Harris Administration’s “Investing in America Tour.”

Jones’ campaign notes that he grew up in Pine Bluff, built a career in science and technology, and has spent his life building bridges between rural towns and urban centers.
Now, he’s running for Congress with a spirited desire to make sure every Arkansan has a seat at the table.

Arkansas restaurants adapt as rising food costs change menus and dining habits
Little Rock, Ark. (KATV) — Rising transportation, labor and food costs continue to reshape Arkansas’ restaurant industry, forcing owners to adjust menus while customers rethink how they dine out.
Food prices have increased, placing additional pressure on restaurants.
Restaurant owners say the cost of staple ingredients such as produce; dairy and meat remain one of their biggest challenges.
“When they had a freeze, our tomatoes went from $34 a case to $104 a case,” said Cole Treece of Buffalo Grill. “So little things like that, you mix in amongst the inflation already and it really puts a burden on the restaurant owner.”
At Allsopp & Chapple, owner Dillon Garcia is opening a new restaurant and said he is keeping menu items and maintaining premium ingredients.
“People aren’t ordering as many desserts, as many appetizers or as many drinks,” Garcia said.
“We’re still going to focus on really high-quality, premium ingredients. It’s just going to be at a lower price point. We’re going to focus on burgers and sandwiches versus filets and halibut.”
Alicia Payseno with the Arkansas Restaurant Association said families are scaling back what they order when dining out.
“A family that would come in and typically order an appetizer, four entrees and a dessert are really splitting meals,” Payseno said. “They’re having to be very selective in what they decide to purchase that day.”
Garcia said customers have become noticeably more price-conscious than in previous years.
“We’re definitely seeing people more concerned about prices than we’ve typically seen,” he said. “For the first time, people are actually asking, ‘Is tax included in the liquor?’”
While many restaurants have increased menu prices to offset higher operating costs, others have delayed passing those expenses to customers.
“We haven’t passed those costs yet,” Treece said. “It will get to a point where we have to pass them on to the customer because we just can’t eat it forever.”
For longtime restaurants such as Buffalo Grill, Treece said loyal customers have helped keep the business afloat despite ongoing inflation.
“We’ve been very fortunate that we have a longtime core group of customers in this area,” Treece said.
“They don’t mind paying because they know what they’re getting.”
As costs remain elevated, restaurant owners say they will continue looking for ways to balance affordability for customers while maintaining the quality that keeps diners coming back.

Tuesday afternoon will bring a few more thunderstorms in the afternoon with the same threats. The rain and storm chance will drop even lower on Wednesday.

Rain and thunderstorm chances will return over the weekend.
