Gary Morris, childhood friend of our own Charles Epley, is running for State Representative, District 97, in the 2018 election, a mere 17 months away. Gary has Carroll County roots that stretch back more than 100 years, and a broadcast journalism and corporate communications background. When asked if he was a Republican or a Christian he said that after he retired from business he became a Methodist minister and decided to enter politics to give Northwest Arkansas honest, open government. As a Republican.
The 97th District encompasses Carroll, Madison and eastern Washington counties.
