Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston
Arkansas Secretary of State John Thurston announced Wednesday (Aug. 9) he plans to seek election to the office of Arkansas State Treasurer.
The death of Treasurer Mark Lowery led Gov. Sarah Sanders to appoint Larry Walther to the post in the interim until the 2024 election cycle can choose a new treasurer to complete the term of office. Thurston is serving his second term as Secretary of State and has served two terms as Arkansas Commissioner of State Lands.
“Our state was dealt a loss with the unexpected passing of State Treasurer Mark Lowery. We continue to mourn his loss along with his family, friends, and staff,” said Thurston. “With Governor Sanders’ appointment of Larry Walther to fill the seat until the 2024 election, I am announcing my candidacy for the office of Arkansas Treasurer of State.”
