Curtis Hitt is a candidate for Circuit Judge, Division 4 of Arkansas's 2nd Judicial Circuit, facing a November 3, 2026 runoff, per KAIT8. No campaign website was found as of September 25, 2026.

Andrew Nadzam currently serves as a deputy prosecuting attorney in Craighead County, handling felony cases, and also runs a private practice in Jonesboro and Highland covering estate planning, probate, trusts, family law, guardianships and adoptions, per his campaign site. He is a candidate for Circuit Judge, Division 4 of Arkansas's 2nd Judicial Circuit.

Curtis Hitt and Andrew Nadzam are on the November 3, 2026 runoff ballot for this seat on the 2nd Judicial Circuit, after neither received a majority of the vote in the March 3, 2026 nonpartisan judicial primary, per the Arkansas Secretary of State's 2026 candidate list (post-primary active filings). Sitting Circuit Judge Doug Brimhall ran for reelection and finished third in the March 3, 2026 primary, so he is not on the runoff ballot. Under Arkansas law, a nonpartisan judicial race that does not produce a majority winner in the March 3, 2026 primary goes to a runoff on the November 3, 2026 general election ballot. Every voter in Clay, Craighead, Crittenden, Greene, Mississippi, and Poinsett counties elects this seat, since Arkansas circuit judges are elected circuit-wide across the 2nd Judicial Circuit (Clay, Craighead, Crittenden, Greene, Mississippi, Poinsett; the seat is designated at-large across the circuit), per the Arkansas Judiciary's circuit map (cross-checked against the Arkansas Times' March 2026 primary-night judicial roundup). Arkansas circuit court races are nonpartisan.
