UPDATE DEC 10, 2019:

State House of Representatives District 22  elections will be a little different in this voting cycle and perhaps a little confusing. There are elections for two different terms.

The 1st election is to fill the vacant seat for remainder of the current term – up until Dec. 31, 2020.

  • There are two Republicans running, and so a Primary Election was held on Dec. 10, 2019.
  • The candidates and unofficial results were as follows:
    • Justice of the Peace Richard McGrew 
      224 votes from Saline County
      546 votes from Garland County
      TOTAL = 770
    • Jack Wells 
      238 votes from Saline County
      224 votes from Garland County
      TOTAL = 664
  • There is a Special Election for this seat on the same day as the Preferential Primary for the General Election – Mar. 3, 2020
  • There are no candidates other than Republican.

The 2nd election is to elect someone to the next term – from Jan. 1, 2021 to Dec. 31, 2022.

  • There are three Republicans running, and so a Primary Election will be held on Mar. 3, 2020
  • The candidates and results are as follows:
    • Justice of the Peace Richard McGrew 
      ___ votes from Saline County
      ___ votes from Garland County
    • Richard Midkiff
      ___ votes from Saline County
      ___ votes from Garland County

PREVIOUSLY NOV 5, 2019

Governor Asa Hutchinson set a special election to fill a vacant seat in the Arkansas Legislature. The State Representative seat in District 22 covers parts of Garland and Saline Counties, to include Paron and Hot Springs Village among other communities. The election will be on Tuesday, March 3, 2020 – the day of the Preferential Primary.

Mickey Gates was expelled from that seat on October 11, 2019, by a vote from members of the House after it was found that he hadn’t paid taxes in several years.
