Candidates for the Little Rock Board of Directors are gearing up for the upcoming election on Nov. 5. During the Pulaski County Board of Election Commissioners meeting, candidates will draw for their positions on the ballot. At-Large Directors Antwan Phillips and Joan Adcock are facing challengers, while At-Large Director Dean Kumpuris and Ward 4 Director Capi Peck are running unopposed.
Among the challengers are Blake Tierney, vying for Adcock’s seat, and Jordan Thomas, running for Phillips’ seat. Former mayoral candidate Glen Schwarz attempted to join the race against Kumpuris but was deemed ineligible due to a past felony conviction.
This election will determine the composition of the Little Rock Board of Directors, a crucial governing body for the city. To learn more about the board and how it operates, residents are encouraged to refer to the city government cheat sheet.
The drawing for ballot positions is an important step in the election process, as candidates’ names appearing first on the ballot can have an impact on voter perception and ultimately, the outcome of the election. With several contested races and one candidate disqualified due to past legal issues, this election is shaping up to be an interesting and competitive one for the Little Rock Board of Directors. Stay tuned for updates on the election and be sure to exercise your right to vote on Nov. 5.
