LITTLE ROCK — Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Courtney Goodson has loaned $100,000 to her campaign for Arkansas Supreme Court chief justice and has raised more than $38,000 since beginning her campaign last month.
Goodson on Thursday reported making two $50,000 loans to her campaign in August, before announcing she was running for chief justice. Goodson is running to replace interim Chief Justice Howard Brill, who was appointed to serve the remainder Chief Justice Jim Hannah's term after Hannah resigned in August.
Brill is barred from running for the post since he's an appointee, and no one else has said they're running.
Goodson reported spending more than $113,000 since announcing her candidacy, with most of it going toward consultant fees. She reported having more than $24,000 cash on hand at the quarter.
