Legislators Sworn In

Lori Benedict, District 82, was sworn into the House of Representatives on January the 10, at 12pm at the Arkansas state Capitol.  Missy Thomas Irvin, District 10, was sworn into the Arkansas State Senate immediately following. The House & the Senate held the first session after the ceremonies, with the new legislators seated. 

Sharp County Republicans attending were Lou Ann Cushman,  Holly McClaren, & Derek Ford.

Senator Irvin intends to pass legislation to create localized healthcare (doctors, hospitals, etc). Representative Benedict intends to pass legislation to repeal HB 2339, which demolishes citizens water rights. Benedict also signed the taxpayer protection pledge. 

Sharp County Republicans Consider themselves blessed to be represented by these great legislators.

Republican JP Takes Seat

On Monday, January 3rd, at 8:20am, Justice Everett McGuire, was sworn into the County JP seat for District 6. Everett is the first Republican JP to be elected in Sharp County since the mid-eighties. Therefore, it is a major victory for the local Republican Party, to seat a Republican JP. A Quorum Court meeting was held immediately following the swearing-in. Justice McGuire was invited into the good old boys club, but respectfully declined. The Sharp County Republican Committee could not be happier for Justice McGuire.
