URGENT FOR NORTH LITTLE ROCK - UPDATED
A special primary runoff election will be held today to fill a vacancy in the House of Representatives District 39. The district includes a section of North Little Rock.
Democratic Party candidates in the runoff are Democrat Sharon Dobbins, wife of former Rep. Dwayne Dobbins, and Teresa Burl, also a Democrat and president of the North Little Rock School District Board.
NOTE WELL: Dwayne Dobbins resigned his seat in the legislature as part of a plea bargain resulting from charges involving sexual misconduct with a teenaged girl.
UPDATE: Voters have rewarded Dobbins for standing in front of the courthouse and declaring his innocence by electing his wife. This proves that people get the government they deserve.
FURTHER UPDATE. According to a story in the Democrat-Gazette, Sharon Dobbins’ runoff victory in a special Democratic primary election for a state House of Representatives seat is in jeopardy because she is a federal employee, an elections official and a spokesman for her employer said Wednesday. This is an apparant violation of the federal Hatch Act.
