Former Arkansas lawmaker dies in farm accident
FAYETTEVILLE -- Jim House, 70, a former state lawmaker and 2018 Democratic nominee for Washington County judge, died Wednesday in what appears to be a farming accident, the county's coroner confirmed.
"He was a true man of the people. That was what he was all about," said state Sen. Uvalde Lindsey, D-Fayetteville, who served with House when both were state representatives. "Friends, family, service to his community; whatever they needed, he was always there."
