Interested participants gathered together for an initial meeting on Monday, January 6 at the Charbroiler in Waldron. Those attending gathered with the goal of forming a Republican Committee in Scott County.
Among those attending, State Committee Chairman Joseph Wood, Senator Terry Rice, State Representative Marcus Richmond, and Yell County Republican Committee Chair, Clay Hooten. The newly formed committee acted on making appointments which included:
Brody Jones – Committee Chairman
1st Vice Chair – Tara Beckett
2nd Vice Chair – Lance Stinson
Secretary/Treasurer – Barbs Templeman
State Republican Committee officers, including Hooten and Sharon Wright, were “excited for Scott County to have this opportunity to strengthen the Republican party.”
Future meetings will be held at 6:30 p.m. every first Tuesday of the month in the meeting room at Charbroiler. The next meeting will take place on February 4.
