LITTLE ROCK — A Republican legislator from Prairie Grove says he’s running for secretary of state.

Rep. Mark Martin said Thursday that he’s seeking his party’s nomination for secretary of state. Martin’s the only Republican who’s announced he’s running for the post.

Martin has served in the Legislature since 2005.

Three Democrats — Pulaski County Clerk Pat O’Brien, Land Commissioner Mark Wilcox and Sebastian County Clerk Doris Tate — have said they’re running for the post. Secretary of State Charlie Daniels, a Democrat who cannot run again because of term limits, is running for state auditor.
