Arkansas State Supreme Court Flips Conservative for the First TimeHannah Bleau 3 Jul 2023
The Arkansas Supreme Court is flipping conservative for the first time in history following Arkansas Gov. Sarah Huckabee Sanders nominating U.S. Attorney Cody Hiland to the vacant position.
“I am pleased to announce that I have selected another former prosecutor and a U.S. Attorney, Cody Hiland, for this role,” Sanders said during a press conference at the Arkansas State Capitol, in which she honored the life of Democrat Supreme Court Justice Robin Wynne, 70, whom she referred to as a “legal titan.” Wynne, who was elected to the Supreme Court in 2014, passed away nearly two weeks ago.
Hiland, Sanders said during the announcement, will bring “a lifetime of legal experience to the job from his early days as a staff attorney in state government and an aide to my dad, who is also here today.”
“He made service to Arkansas the centerpiece of his career,” she said, noting that he was “twice elected prosecuting attorney for the 20th Judicial District” and “served as U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Arkansas from 2017 to 2020.”
