Former state Rep. Charlene Fite, R-Van Buren, filed Wednesday to run for the House District 24 seat that is currently held by state Rep. Brad Hall, R-Rudy, who filed Tuesday to seek reelection in the 2026 elections.

Fite filed to run for the House seat at the state Capitol a day after the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported that Hall's wife claims he forced her to have sex with other men, including one she says repeatedly raped her. Hall has denied the claims.
