In her campaign for chief justice, Arkansas Supreme Court Justice Barbara Webb reported raising more and spending more in January than at least two of her opponents based on their latest campaign finance reports.

Campaign finance reports of Arkansas state candidates for January were due Tuesday in the secretary of state's office.

Along with Webb, state Supreme Court Justices Rhonda Wood and Karen Baker and attorney Jay Martin are vying for chief justice position in the March 5, nonpartisan judicial election, which is held in conjunction with the primary election.

Early voting started Tuesday. If none of the chief justice candidates get a majority of the votes, the two top vote-getters will advance to the runoff, which will be Nov.
