Gravette city council member, Kurt Maddox, plans to run for mayor of Rogers. Maddox just finished a race for Congress and loved campaigning. His pledge to change the town’s name to “East Gravette” is not just premature home sickness according to Maddox. “I love this city and it deserves a name we can all be proud of,” he said.
Maddox considered running for mayor of Gravette, where he lives, but decided to go for the big kielbasa. He is going to move from Gravette into one of his two spec houses in Rogers which have been empty since he built them some two years ago.
Two locals were so impressed with this “move” that they agreed to serve on his committee. One of the two said, “More than any other time in the history of Rogers, we need someone to with the foresight to find a use for a house he can’t sell and to pick an office that can be a stepping stone for higher office in the next election and pays more money than his home town would. Rogers is, and has been for the last 30 years, totally lacking in mayoral talent. It would benefit from having Kurt Maddox as our Mayor.” The other was thrilled with Maddox’s plan to change the name of Rogers to East Gravette. “Rogers has gotten stale and needs change. ‘East Gravette’ is just what we need to revitalize this old town," he said.

That's fantastic Kurt. I'll move my family there and we'll all vote for you.
Wow! Brighter days are ahead for Rogers ... er, East Gravette ... when Maddox becomes Mayor. He'll show Sampier and Womack how it's REALLY supposed to be done! ;>) And, with the support of the Duggers, he must SURELY have a commanding lead in the number of supporters! ;>)
With Springdale's help, Rogers will pick a mayor from Gravette? Hope they has as much success as they did in the congressional race.
ROGERS, Ark. -- Springdale's Duggar family will be supporting Republican candidate Kurt Maddox in Rogers Tuesday night. A news release from Maddox's campaign manager said "Jim Bob Duggar and family will be helping Kurt & Dawn Maddox celebrate on election night." Maddox is running for the Republican nomination for Arkansas' third district Congressional seat, which is being vacated by Rep. John Boozman (R-AR) who is running for the U.S. Senate. Maddox's election night watch party will be at Fast Lanes Entertainment in Rogers.
If the Duggers move in that would be a REAL JOBS PROGRAM!!!!
Good work Mr. Maddox!
(oh by the way there are several places in Rogers where you can get your hair cut)
