A state House candidate will present her case
to have a challenger disqualified for not meeting residency
requirements at hearing on Friday.
Democrat Robbyn Tumey of Rogers has filed a lawsuit seeking to
disqualify Republican Timothy Hutchinson of Lowell in the District
95 race.
The lawsuit claims Hutchinson hasn`t lived long enough in the
district to qualify as a candidate.
Tumey`s campaign manager said Pulaski County Circuit Judge Tim
Fox has set a nine am hearing on Friday in Little Rock.
The state Constitution requires legislative candidates to have
lived in the district a year before an election. Tumey claims
Hutchinson rented a duplex in the district but did not actually
live there until last spring.
