Page "Vic Snyder" Paragraph 3

In 1990 Snyder successfully ran for a seat in the Arkansas legislature and served in that body until 1996.

In the Arkansas legislature, Snyder stepped into one of his earliest legislative controversies when he attempted to repeal the state's aged " Sodomy Laws ".

Ultimately, however, his efforts failed, and the sodomy laws stayed in effect until the state Supreme Court struck it down in Jegley v. Picado in March 2001.
