| Description | LITTLE ROCK — Three Republican candidates who drew election-season criticism for their comments or writings on slavery and other contentious topics lost bids for the state House in the general election, an outcome the Gov. Mike Beebe said Wednesday should be a warning to elected officials.
Rep. Jon Hubbard of Jonesboro lost to Democratic challenger Harold Copenhaver of Jonesboro, Rep. Loy Mauch of Bismarck lost to Democrat David Kizzia of Malvern, and former state Rep. Charles Fuqua of Batesville lost to Rep. James McLean, D-Batesville.
Hubbard, already under fire for comments in a book he published in 2009 that slavery was a “blessing in disguise” for blacks, drew further criticism last month in comparing Beebe and Attorney General Dustin McDaniel to Nazis in a letter to the Jonesboro Sun newspaper. |
