A bi-partisan leader and statesman, Mark Pryor is a rare breed in Washington.  He was involved, and in many cases instrumental, in building the necessary bi-partisan agreements to get the Senate and the government to function, even during the most bitter partisan environment in recent memory.  He is a natural-born consensus builder and deal broker and he often volunteered for the toughest missions. 

As state Attorney General, he brought business interests and environmental and consumer groups together to find the common sense path forward.  He took that experience and commitment to Washington and ultimately passed over 70 pieces of legislation, with almost all of it being bi-partisan. Mark Pryor is respected by Democrats and Republicans as one of the small number of go-to leaders in the Senate who could set his ego aside and bring people together and find common ground solutions. He works well with labor groups, consumer advocates and environmentalists while maintaining a strong relationship with the business community.

Sensible.  Discerning.  Thoughtful.  These are the words that describe Mark Pryor.  He brings a unique perspective to politics.  His father was in elected office before Mark Pryor was born which, which  culminated in David Pryor serving two terms as Arkansas Governor and three terms in the US Senate.  Mark Pryor was the youngest member of the state legislature, the youngest Attorney General in the nation and the second youngest Senator when he took office in 2003.  He has been in and around politics all of his life.  He knows how it works and he knows how to make it work better.

Mark Pryor has received numerous awards for his bi-partisan work and leadership on a variety of issues.  Every year, he was selected as among the most independent Senators in Washington by the political publications.   He will connect with any audience.
