We offer our condolences to the families of Officer Bill Evans and Brandon Paudert, son of West Memphis Police Chief Bob Paudert. Our prayers are with Crittenden County Sheriff Dick Busby and West Memphis Chief of Enforcement, W.A. Wren and their families.

Ellington defeats Hitt

By George Jared

JONESBORO — An Internet glitch may have prevented Scott Ellington from declaring victory in Tuesday night’s primary election for 2nd Judicial District prosecutor, but it didn’t stop him from winning the race.

Ellington, a deputy prosecutor in Craighead County, defeated his opponent, attorney Curtis Hitt of Paragould, 53-47 percent. Unofficially, Ellington received 15,853 votes, while Hitt garnered 14,222, according to figures obtained by The Sun. Vote totals still have to be certified by the state.

Thank you, Mrs. Gossett …

Scott Ellington was one of my students at Brookland School. He was one of the finest students I had the honor of teaching. He is a young man with outstanding character and values.

I ask all who read this page to please consider him as you vote for prosecuting attorney. He will not let the public down. If you are not one who votes often, but are a registered voter, please go out and cast your vote for a good man.

We need many good men such as he ….

Your support will make the 2nd District safer for our families.

The response to our campaign is overwhelmingly positive and we are gaining momentum every day. This campaign was born three weeks ago, but our volunteer base has been experiencing phenomenal growth and our volunteers are eager for the road that lies ahead. I am absolutely confident that our efforts will be successful.

While I am seeking this office to make our district safer for our families, I also seek to build public perception and respect for our profession. For the past 18 years I have been committed to justice, strived for integrity, and assumed accountability as a practicing attorney throughout our great state of Arkansas.

Because I have been a full-time deputy prosecutor for the past 2 1/2 years, I have been dedicated to my daily duties and responsibilities. I have not amassed a war chest for a campaign. I am not merely running for the position of Prosecuting Attorney, I am also running for the opportunity to continue serving the 2nd Judicial District. Your contribution will help support justice. No amount is too small.

At the end of the day, it makes a difference who is elected as your Prosecuting Attorney. When the election is over and it is time to really start making decisions that affect people’s lives, it becomes more important than ever that the one making those decisions is a person of sound judgment, experience and maturity. I am that person.

To win, I need your financial support and most importantly, your vote on May 18th. I pledge to you, that with your support, our communities will be stronger and safer.
