James Robert "Jim Bob" Duggar (born July 18, 1965) of Tontitown, Arkansas, is a former state legislator who served in the Arkansas House of Representatives from 1999 to 2002. He is a real estate agent, and owns several commercial properties in his local area.[1][2]

Duggar ran in the Republican Party of Arkansas primary election for United States Senate candidacy in 2002, but lost to Tim Hutchinson.[3] Duggar sought the Republican nomination to the Arkansas State Senate District 35 seat in Arkansas in 2006,[4] but lost to candidate Bill Pritchard.

Jim Bob Duggar[5] and his wife Michelle,[6] who was named Young Mother of the Year in Arkansas in 2004,[7][8] are conservative Baptists[9] who endorse the Quiverfull movement and the teachings of Bill Gothard.

The Duggars say they live debt-free,[10][11] which Mr. Duggar has said is “the fruit of a financial freedom seminar” he attended years ago. According to the FEC, Duggar's 2002 Senate campaign has closing debts of $101,163, ranking him number 17 on 2001, 2002 Senate Campaign Debt.[12] These debts were unpaid as of 2004.[13]

Jim Bob and Michelle Duggar recently revealed that Michelle is pregnant again, expecting their 18th child. The Duggars raise their children using the "buddy system," in which an older sibling raises a younger sibling. The older buddy " will get the younger ones' meals or change their diapers."[14] According to Mrs. Duggar "They help them with their little phonics lessons and games during the day, help them practice their music lessons. They will play with them or help them pick out the color of their outfit that they want to wear that day, and just all of those types of things."[15]
