Duggar family patriarch and former 19 Kids And Counting reality star Jim Bob Duggar is returning to a familiar front: the political trail. Duggar announced yesterday that he is running for public office again, this time seeking a seat on the Arkansas State Senate representing the state’s 7th Senate District in northwest Arkansas.
He made the announcement with a Facebook post on the Duggars’ official Facebook page. “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,” he said.'
“Our family has been blessed by God in so many ways,” Duggar continued in the Facebook post. “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.”
Duggar is hoping to take the seat previously held by two-term state Sen. Lance Eads (R), who resigned from the position this week to become a lobbyist for a Little Rock consulting firm. He won his last two elections easily, including in 2020, when he ran unopposed, and the seat also easily went to a Republican in the 2012 election.

isn't serious enough to keep him from running for office. This guy has no fucking shame! But it's Arkansas, so if he gets the Republican nomination, he's probably got the election in the bag. I expect he'll be using the position as a springboard to higher office. Won't it be nice when we have Jim Bob in the U.S. Senate? 
design a house that made it more difficult for the son to access the sisters' bedroom.
