Jim Bob Duggar of “19 and Counting” fame is re-entering the political arena, announcing via social media his plans to run for the Arkansas State Senate.

“Jim Bob Duggar announces he will run for Arkansas State Senate District 7, which includes Springdale, Johnson, Goshen and Elkins in eastern Washington County,” reads a press release posted to the Duggar family’s official Facebook page. “Jim Bob previously served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for four years (1999-2002),” six years before starring on the TLC hit from 2008-2015.

“I am honored to announce my candidacy for Arkansas State Senate District 7. Northwest Arkansas is my lifelong home. It’s where my wife, Michelle, and I have raised our 20 children,” the 56-year-old continued. “It’s where we’ve grown our small businesses. It’s where we’ve built a life centered around our faith, family, and friends.”

The reality star went on to detail why he’s looking to occupy the state seat.

“I’m running for State Senate because these are unprecedented times in our nation. Out-of-control bureaucrats have put politics over common-sense policy with government mandates that force people to choose between earning a paycheck and violating their personal rights and beliefs. The foundational principles that have made our nation great are under threat like never before.

“Now more than ever, we need a bold voice that is pro-family, pro-business, pro-gun and pro-life,” he added. “It’s time for conservatives to demand courageous leadership that puts Arkansas families, jobs, and our constitutional liberties first. I look forward to being your voice in the Arkansas State Senate.”

Jim Bob’s announcement comes six months after son Josh Duggar was indicted for receiving and possessing child pornography. Originally scheduled for July, Josh’s trial has been pushed back to Nov. 30.

The indictment led to TLC canceling the family’s spin-off show, “Counting On.”

Queen Elizabeth told to rest at least another 2 weeks over mystery health scare

Queen Elizabeth II is under doctors’ orders to rest at least another two weeks, as she recovers from the recent health scare that left her hospitalized, Buckingham Palace said Friday.

The 95-year-old UK monarch was told that she “should continue to rest” over the unspecified health issue, which the palace has only said is not related to COVID-19.

“The doctors have advised that Her Majesty can continue to undertake light, desk-based duties during this time, including some virtual audiences,” the palace said of the queen, who appeared to be in good spirits while holding virtual audiences Tuesday at Windsor Castle.

But she has been told “not to undertake any official visits,” the palace said.

“Her Majesty regrets that this means she will be unable to attend the Festival of Remembrance,” the palace said of the Nov. 13 event at London’s Royal Albert Hall.

“However, it remains The Queen’s firm intention to be present for the National Service of Remembrance on Remembrance Sunday,” the palace said of the Nov. 14 ceremony honoring war heroes.

The queen’s health scare first emerged on Wednesday last week when she “reluctantly” canceled a trip to mark 100 years since the creation of Northern Ireland.

The palace later admitted that she spent that night in London’s King Edward VII’s Hospital for “preliminary investigations,” with no further details on what caused the concern.

A palace source told Reuters that further rest was “a sensible precaution” and that the monarch remained in good spirits.

Her Majesty is the world’s longest-reigning monarch, having been on the throne for 69 years following the death of her father in 1952.
