Kevin Holmes Announces His Candidacy for State Representative District 66
Van Buren attorney Kevin Holmes announced today that he will run for State Representative District 66 as a Republican. The current representative is Republican Rick Green who is termed limited and is rumored to be considering running for the State Senate District 19 where he will likely face a hotly contest Republican primary. In the previous session, Rep. Green drew praise from some and criticism from other for many times siding with the Democrats on key votes such as the cigarette tax increase.
Holmes has is finishing up his second term on the Crawford County Quorum Court and is looking to bring that experience to the state legislature.
“My core beliefs are that the government should be less involved in people’s daily lives,” Holmes said in a press release today. “As an attorney 
and small business owner, I see first hand the effect high taxes have on our families and I will continue my fight to keep taxes low … Smaller government, lower taxes, and more jobs, those are the commitments I’ve fought for on the Quorum Court and will strive to achieve while in the State Legislature.”
So far no one else has announced they are running for the seat.
