Congressman Bruce Westerman (AR-04) released the following statement regarding the passing of Arkansas State Senator Gary Stubblefield:
"Gary and I began our service together in the Arkansas Legislature, and from the day I met him, I felt a kindred spirit. Not only did we share a similar college experience at the University of Arkansas, with both of us being former Razorback football players, but we also shared a common faith and a common worldview on the roles of the God-ordained institutions of government, commerce, family, marriage, and the church."
"Gary was full of grit and relentless in standing up for his constituents and speaking out for right versus wrong. My most sincere condolences go out to all as we mourn the loss of a husband, father, grandfather, friend, champion for the state of Arkansas, and brother in Christ."
