The Speaker-designate

Rep. Robbie Wills (D-Conway) helped the Clark County Democratic Central Committee open their new headquarters in Arkadelphia last night. Wills discussed the upcoming special session and issues facing Arkansans leading up to the 87th General Assembly. Other legislators in attendance included Reps. Johnnie Roebuck (D-Arkadelphia) and Janet Johnson (D-Bryant) (pictured right).

One pretty hot local race in Clark County is the race for circuit judge for the Ninth Judicial District East. Former Circuit Judge Robert McCallum is challenging incumbent Circuit Judge John Thomas.
