We have 2 candidates for County Judge...
In yesterday’s Log Cabin it was announced JP Catherin Blankenship will seek the Republican party nomination for County Judge. Log Cabin staff writer, Rob O’Connor writes,
When asked why she is seeking the county judgeship, Blankenship said, "We must have strong leadership to develop supportive infrastructure needed to provide services and meet the needs of our citizens, and we must have vision to take Faulkner County into a new era in technology and economic development in one of the largest and most progressive counties in Arkansas."
Blankenship said long-range planning and long-term solutions are needed for the county.
"I don't want a Band-aid approach," she said.
Blankenship said she sees the county judge role as one of "listening, coordinating and seeing needs and bringing together resources and finding creative solutions."
JP Blankenship, wife of former Sheriff Bob Blankenship, has an impressive background in the local community and could bring much to the Judge’s office. It will be interesting to see how this race will plays out.
