Ken Smith in the 2012 primary to secure the Democratic nomination in 2012. He served on the Children & Youth, Game & Fisheries, Human Services, and Veterans Affairs Committees.

Rep. Kevin Haggerty cited his status as a veteran during his election process. His official records available through a FOIA request were made available online by veteran watchdog groups like thisainthell.us Rep. Haggerty was declared a deserter according to his records and discharged early from his military obligations as a private. According to his official records he only served on active duty for approximately 9 months and spent much of that time as a deserter. Recently he has been accused of hitting his wife Jennifer. Jennifer took a PFA out against him but she ended up dropping the charges. Haggerty did not seek reelection in 2018 and was succeeded by Kyle Mullins, former legislative director for State Senator John Blake.
