LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) – A Washington-based group is preparing to launch
television ads targeting Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Courtney Goodson in her
re-election bid, two years after it spent more than $600,000 on spots aimed at
Goodson during her unsuccessful campaign to lead the high court.
Filings with the Federal Communications Commission indicate that the Judicial
Crisis Network has spent more than $96,000 to air ads in the Little Rock and
northwest Arkansas areas over the next week. A filing from one station says the
ads focused on criticism of Goodson.
Goodson is running against Arkansas Department of Human Services Chief Counsel
David Sterling and state Appeals Court Judge Kenneth Hixson in the May 22
non-partisan judicial election. She lost her bid for chief justice in 2016
against Dan Kemp.
