Lt. Gov. Bill Halter and his wife, Shanti, are celebrating their own set of winning numbers today: 6 pounds, 8 ounces and 19.5 inches long.

Those are the birth measurements of Julia Nancy Halter, born today at Baptist Health Medical Center in North Little Rock.

Julia is the Halters’ second pre-election baby. The couple’s first daughter, Lauren, was born shortly before the November 2006 election that ushered Bill Halter into office as lieutenant governor.

“God has blessed us with a second beautiful, healthy baby girl,” Halter said in a news release issued by his office. “Mother and daughter are doing great. Lauren is very excited about her new baby sister and I couldn’t be happier. We want to thank everyone who has kept us in their thoughts and prayers.”
