Boozman, 58, is the brother of U.S. Rep. JohnBoozman, R-3rd District.
Representative JohnBoozman is in town and is with the rest of the family, Scott said.
Boozman ran unsuccessfully for the U.S. Senate in 1998 to fill the seat of former Sen. Dale Bumpers, losing to Sen. Blanche Lincoln, D-Ark. On February 8,1999, Huckabee appointed Boozman as the Arkansas Department of Health director.
Boozman had taken about 59 percent of the vote, a wider margin than his showing the last time he faced a Democrat, in 2001.
Boozman, 53, said he was pleased with the early vote tally.
Boozman wants a portion of Social Security holdings to be earmarked to invest in private accounts, while Judy said such a proposal would jeopardize the future of the program.
