Ozark Representative Bill Gossage was appointed to the position, leaving an opening in the 82nd District of the Arkansas House of Representatives.
Immediately following Hutchinson’s decision, a representative for republican Bobby Ballinger announced he would be seeking to fill the position.
Ballinger, son of Representative Bob Ballinger, is a Madison County native and currently lives in Franklin County.
Ozark attorney Sarah Capp is also expected to run for the seat vacated by Gossage.
