Democrats select nominee for Arnold's House seat

The (Henderson) Gleaner reports that Kim Humphrey of Union County has been tapped to run for a vacant state legislative seat in the 7th House District. Humphrey was the only nomination submitted during a Democratic committee nominating meeting held Tuesday night at the Henderson County Courthouse. The Democratic Party is looking to retain the seat of former Democratic state Rep. John Arnold of Sturgis, who resigned in mid-September amid sexual harassment accusations. Arnold had represented the district since 1995.
