A familiar name will be on the ballot next March for the Baxter County Quorum Court. Mountain Home Police Chief Eddie Griffin has announced his candidacy for JP for District 8. The seat is currently held by Roger Steele.
Griffin, who is running as a Republican, says running for the quorum court is something he has wanted to do for a while, and when he found out Steele is not seeking reelection, he thought the time is right.
Listen:
Griffin says it’s not unprecedented for a member of the Mountain Home Police Department to serve on the quorum court, including current county judge Kevin Litty.
Listen:
Griffin is a 1983 graduate of Mountain Home High School and then served in the United States Army. He has been employed at the Mountain Home Police Department for 26 years.
He received a Criminal Justice Degree from Arkansas State University Mountain Home and is a graduate of the Federal Bureau of Investigation National Academy.
Griffin is married with two adult sons.
The filing period for the March Preferential Primary Election runs from Nov. 6 until Nov. 14.
