Ricky Dale Harrington Jr. said during a debate in October he began running for public office because of the "hyper-partisanship" in Washington.A Libertarian, Harrington lost a Senate race to Republican incumbent Tom Cotton in 2020, but that hasn't stopped the east Texas native from wanting to make a difference for Arkansas on a high political level. He's now running against Democrat Chris Jones and Republican Sarah Huckabee Sanders for governor in the Nov. 8 general election.Harrington moved to Pine Bluff to start a healthcare facility, but the Harding University graduate also has extensive experience in criminal justice, including a chaplaincy at the Cummins Unit.
