CONWAY — Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren painted her vision of a better America during a 55-minute talk to a crowd of 150 citizens in the cafeteria of Kennett Middle School on Sunday at about noon.
Warren, 69, the senior U.S. senator from Massachusetts, asked the crowd to help her fight for change in three ways: to change rules in Washington to attack corruption head-on; to change the rules in our economy; and to change the rules in order to protect our democracy.
