Arkansas Democrats Release Statement On Ruling Against Gov. Sanders In Senate District 26 Court Case

Arkansas Democrats are releasing the following statement after news broke this afternoon that a judge has sided with the residents of Senate District 26 and against Gov. Sanders, telling her to follow the law and move up the dates in the Senate District 26 Special Election.

Arkansas Democratic Party Chair Colonel Marcus Jones (Ret.) said:

"We are encouraged by the ruling in Senate District 26, and we are grateful that the court is siding with the residents of the River Valley, rather than our Governor who is abusing her power and refusing to fill these vacancies.

The court agrees: Taxation without representation is wrong. That's why we filed suit with the Governor in House District 70, and that's why we're hopeful that we'll prevail there as well."
