Party: Democratic
Overview: Incumbent Pricey Harrison beat Republican challenger Jon Hardister. In her capacity as a representative, she has supported legislation to counter racism in the court system (the Racial Justice Act), and legislation to enhance anti-pollution measures (the ‘Clean Smokestacks’ bill).
Politicians talking: “We’ve had some very very blatant cases of racism among jurors across the state. (The Racial Justice Act) just allows for a fairer administration of our capital punishment system. It’s being smart on crime, not soft on crime.” (From Yes! Weekly)
