3 candidates vying to replace retiring Arkansas Court of Appeals judge

Two local attorneys and a circuit court judge are vying in the March 5 election to replace longtime Arkansas Court of Appeals Judge Rita Gruber, 73, who is retiring at the end of this year when her current term expires after 16 years on the appeals court bench.

Circuit Judge Casey Tucker and attorneys Pam Hathaway and Molly McNulty seek to replace Gruber, who currently holds the District 6, Position 1 seat on the court that includes Pulaski, Perry and Saline counties.

The nonpartisan general election will be the same day as the preferential primary election for partisan candidates.

Early voting starts Tuesday. Early voting hours will be from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
