Rotary Club of Scenic 7 candidate forum a success

State Representative Bill Sample and State Representative Dr. Gene Shelby are competing for the same job, State Senator for District 19. Members of the Rotary Club of Scenic 7 peppered the men with questions about past and future service. The debate received excellent press coverage by the Sentinel Record. Coverage of the debate was featured in the Friday paper on the front page above the fold. Wa-hoo.
Democrat Dr. Gene Shelby could have run for State Representative for a final term before term-limiting out but decided to pursue the State Senate seat instead.

Republican Bill Sample was term-limited out of office as State Representative and would like to continue serving his constituents but as State Senator.

Rotary Club of Scenic 7 president Lisa Carey gives a plaque of service recognition to Arkansas State Senator for District 19 Terry Smith. In an unusual move the sitting Senator served as moderator in the debate between Bill Sample and Gene Shelby, the two men vying for his seat.
