Judicial candidates may not formally begin campaigns until one year before an election. That’s today for 2014 judicial elections, held the same day as party primaries with runoffs, if necessary, in November.
There’ll be lots more of these, but this one came in first and it’s for a local judgeship:
Mike Reif said he’s running for 13th division circuit court, a seat from which Judge Collins Kilgore is expected to retire. Reif has practiced 29 years with the Little Rock firm of Dover, Dixon, Horne.
