Rogers Mayor Steve Womack finished first in the 3rd Congressional District Republican primary Tuesday, but couldn’t avoid a runoff with state Sen. Cecile Bledsoe of Rogers.

Womack had more than twice as many votes as Bledsoe, but couldn’t secure at least 50 percent of the vote in an eight-candidate primary to avoid the June 8 runoff.

Bledsoe edged former state legislator and Fort Smith attorney Gunner DeLay by 158 votes for second place and a spot opposite Womack in the runoff.

I believe that Bledsoe is the more conservative candidate, but I don’t know this for certain.

You’re probably right. I am a personal friend of Steve Womack’s, but I am only marginally acquainted with Ms. Bledsoe. I can honestly say that no finer man exists. That said, Cecile IS more conservative, have no doubt.

I’m good friends with her son ....who is very conservative

[Clintonfatigued]

I hope that you encourage your family and friends to support her, and perhaps put a sign in their yards.

Gunner DeLay ran again? Good thing he didn’t make it, we can do without reminding anyone of his distant cousin.

You mean, Tom “Twinkle Toes”. LOL

[Impy]

Yes. As far as I know he’s never even met his distant cousin but still.

Gunner btw is supporting Cecile Bledsoe in the runoff.

[Impy]

Womack won.
