Houma-Choctaw Nation Endorses Warwick Sabin for Little Rock Mayor

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – State Rep. Warwick Sabin launched a campaign website for mayor of Little Rock in the 2018 election. Though Sabin still says he's "exploring a run," the website gives the impression he's in the race. “I’m exploring a run for Mayor because Little Rock has the potential to be a more vibrant and dynamic city,” said Sabin. “With new ideas, we can make Little Rock a hub of economic activity, make our schools great and keep our city safe, so people want to raise their families here.” Citing a need for new energy and new ideas to help create jobs, improve education and keep Little Rock safe, Sabin vowed to visit and listen to every corner of the city. Sabin’s new website, SabinForMayor.com , launched this morning.   Current Little Rock Mayor Mark Stodola says he intends to run for re-election.  He's made no official announcement citing the fact the election is still 17 months away.

The letter was signed by  Melvin Vester,  president of
