On Monday, Dec. 1, conservative business owner and community leader, Chris Spencer , announced he’ll be running for VanDeaver’s seat.

“I thank Representative Gary VanDeaver for his years of service and sincerely wish him and his family the very best in this next chapter," Spencer said. “As I look ahead to this race, I am committed to carrying the torch for conservative values that our district holds dear.
