Conway ophthalmologist Steve Magie says he hopes to succeed the term-limited Robbie Wills in the state House.

Magie says he will kick off his campaign for the Democratic nomination for House District 46 at 5 p.m. today at Centennial Country Club in Conway.

“I believe Conway is one of the best places in Arkansas to live and raise a family because of the shared values of this community,” Magie said in a statement. “I will demonstrate those values of hard work and straightforward respect to continue the exemplary representation of our area has had under Speaker Wills.”

Magie maintains offices in Conway, Little Rock and Fort Smith.
