Pat Hays Children: Did Pat Hays Have Kids?

Pay Hays and his wife Linda had a daughter, Josie, and three grandchildren, Savannah, Isabella, and Harper. There isn’t much information about his daughter on the Internet as she has managed to keep a low profile over the years.

Hays briefly ran for the United States Senate following the retirement of Dale Bumpers in the 1998 election but withdrew his candidacy. He was considered a potential candidate in the 2012 election for the United States House of Representatives in Arkansas’s 2nd congregational district but opted not to run. Hays did not seek reelection as mayor in 2012.

Hays announced his candidacy for the House of Representatives to succeed Republican incumbent Tim Griffin in the 2014 election on October 22, 2013. He cited the 2013 United States federal government shutdown, which he called a travesty as a reason to run. Republican French Hill defeated Hays in the general election.
