WALNUT RIDGE — Democrats have chosen a candidate to replace the late Dale Freeman as the nominee for Lawrence County judge.
Democrats voting Thursday selected John Thomison over Freeman's widow, Mary Freeman.
Dale Freeman died Saturday of injuries suffered in an Aug. 10 auto crash.
Thomison has run at least twice unsuccessfully against Dale Freeman, including in the March Democratic primary.
Thomison will have no opposition in the Nov. 8 general election and will take office Jan. 1.
