Jim Bob Duggar Announces He's Running for Arkansas State Senate (NOT Borowitz!)

https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/jim-bob-duggar-announces-hes-running-for-arkansas-state-senate/ar-AAQ6HLt?li=BBnb7Kz

Jim Bob Duggar is the latest reality star to run for office. The father of 20 announced Friday on his family's Facebook page that he will be campaigning for Arkansas State Senate District 7.

Prior to starring on TLC's 19 Kids and Counting from 2008 to 2015, Jim Bob previously served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for four years, from 1999 to 2002.

"I am honored to announce my candidacy for Arkansas State Senate District 7. Northwest Arkansas is my lifelong home. It’s where my wife, Michelle, and I have raised our 20 children. It’s where we’ve grown our small businesses. It’s where we’ve built a life centered around our faith, family, and friends," Jim Bob said in a statement announcing his candidacy. "Our family has been blessed by God in so many ways. We’ve found His love and goodness to be our source of strength in both our most joyous occasions and our darkest moments. It's important to us to give back and to help others in every way we can."


Here's another one who doesn't know when to get off the stage and disappear quietly.

All I can say is "Good luck, Arkansas." If you vote for him, you'll deserve what you get.

Another media fail. So sick of misreporting from articles. This never would have gotten past the editor 20 years ago. So sad what newspapers have become.

The child of one of their relatives. Not sure if they've adopted the poor kid or not.

Is that how he plans to "... give back and to help others in every way we can."?
