Stout elected to fill Richardson's House seat
Candidate had admitted affair

Paulding County voters elected Daniel Stout to fill the seat of former House Speaker Glenn Richardson, who resigned earlier this year after his ex-wife confirmed that he'd had an affair with a lobbyist.

Stout, a 29-year-old banker from Dallas, garnered 935 votes, or 59.5 percent of the votes cast Tuesday, to win the District 19 seat in the state House of Representatives.

With 99 percent of the precincts reporting, Ronny Sibley received 560 votes, while Jody Cash got 77 votes.

Stout had earlier confirmed that he also had an extra-marital affair, with his first wife's mother, 10 years ago. He and his first wife divorced, and Stout remarried in 2005.

  2. This is a heartless smear campaign tactic. They had to dig for this one. Dan Stout been married for a number of years to his present wife faithfully. Yes we know his family. He had an encounter or tender scary moment with his former mother in law he calls an affair out of guilt, but was not an all out affair. She was not his lover. Yes, he's been married twice. Once when he was very young, but this is something that makes him feel very guilty and he's not trying to hide. He has asked forgiveness for that both to his wife and went forward in church about it. He calls it an affair out of guilt and the opposition is using this. Let he who is without a sinful thought cast the first stone.
