TLC Cancels “Counting On” 2 Months After Josh Duggar’s Arrest
Jim Bob Duggar is pursuing a career in politics.
The 19 Kids and Counting alum announced he will run for Arkansas State Senate District 7 on Friday, Oct. 29, writing on the family’s Facebook profile that they are “excited to share this big announcement with you!”
In Jim Bob’s formal statement, the reality star stated in part that he’s running out of the belief that “it’s important to us to give back and to help others in every way we can.”
“Now more than ever, we need a bold voice that is pro-family, pro-business, pro-gun and pro-life,” the 56-year-old father of 20 continued. “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 previously served in the Arkansas House of Representatives for four years before he lost in the 2002 election to Bill Pritchard.
KNWA News shared the announcement in an Instagram post, where Derick Dillard, Jill Duggar’s husband, commented with a mysterious thinking emoji.

Jill and Derick quietly began distancing themselves from the rest of the Duggar family in 2017, telling People last year that they realized, “Our control to choose what jobs we were allowed to accept and even where we were allowed to live was taken away from us.”
At the time, Jill and Derick expressed that they didn’t “expect this to happen,” nor did they want to be estranged from the family.
