https://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/celebrity/jim-bob-duggar-announces-hes-running-for-arkansas-state-senate/ar-AAQ6HLt?li=BBnb7KzPrior to starring on TLC's 19 Kids and Counting from 2008 to 2015, Jim Bob previously served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for four years, from 1999 to 2002.
"I am honored to announce my candidacy for Arkansas State Senate District 7. Northwest Arkansas is my lifelong home. Its where my wife, Michelle, and I have raised our 20 children. Its where weve grown our small businesses. Its where weve built a life centered around our faith, family, and friends," Jim Bob said in a statement announcing his candidacy. "Our family has been blessed by God in so many ways. Weve found His love and goodness to be our source of strength in both our most joyous occasions and our darkest moments. It's important to us to give back and to help others in every way we can."
Here's another one who doesn't know when to get off the stage and disappear quietly.
All I can say is "Good luck, Arkansas." If you vote for him, you'll deserve what you get.
