Arkansas House Democrats

ARKANSAS, this is the MOST IMPORTANT video you’ll see all day 📺 Here’s Rep. @andrewcollinsAR absolute masterclass on how the GOP budget is ripping off working families & vulnerable Arkansans. CALL NOW & tell your Reps./Sens. to VOTE NO on TAX HANDOUTS for MILLIONAIRES ☎️

THE ARKANSAS LEGISLATURE CONVENES TOMORROW FOR THE FISCAL SESSION 🚨 During the fiscal session, legislators will approve our state budget. And the budget the GOP legislature and Gov. Sanders is proposing is BAD NEWS for Arkansas. IT’S SAD BUT TRUE— Gov. Sanders and the Republican Supermajority will push a budget that funds private school vouchers as their TOP PRIORITY with no end in sight. You are probably asking… What about increasing funding for child care to help working families? Or… providing more support to our senior centers or centers for adults with disabilities? How about supporting our rural hospitals? Making it more affordable and accessible for Arkansans to see a doctor? Nope. Not even one of these things is a priority in the GOP budget. THESE ARE YOUR TAX DOLLARS, ARKANSAS 👀 We can’t afford this out-of-control spending— and Democrats believe we deserve better. Watch as Rep. @andrewcollinsAR breaks it down on Arkansas Week 👇

So sorry to hear of Rep. Stan Berry’s passing. The year I was elected, he came back to the House, and we served on several committees together. He was frank, funny, warm, kind, and always great company. We’ll miss Stan.

I was heartbroken to learn of the passing of Rep. Stan Berry. Stan loved Arkansas and the people of District 44. You could see that in the way he served and the way he treated everyone he met. His presence will be missed in our chamber. Please keep his family in your prayers.

I am thrilled to see Democrat Alex Holladay flip the first seat of the cycle in Arkansas, winning big to become the next State Representative for North Little Rock and Sherwood. He’ll do a great job! #arpx #arleg

"I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism and war." Watch Martin Luther King Jr.'s Nobel Peace Prize speech, where he accepted the award on behalf of the American civil rights movement: bit.ly/3bJCQuc #MLKDay

Congratulations to @HolladayforAR on a massive primary win. In March, he has a special election where he can very plausibly flip a 50-50 district in NLR/Sherwood for Democrats. The time is now to please help Alex out however you can! alexforarkansas.com

We are grateful for our veterans' service and sacrifice, today and every day.

In the past few years, AR has seen a 63% increase of children living in poverty. Proven solutions, like child tax credits, exist. If we don’t invest in some of these solutions now, it will prove to be catastrophic to all Arkansans for generations. talkbusiness.net/2025/10/report…

House Democrats challenged massive child care cuts in a hearing chaired by @DeniseforAR. Rep. Tracy Steele pointed out the need for better communication and @ashleyforAR observed that some parents will be forced out of the workforce because of these cuts. We must fix this.

NEWS 📰 HIGHLY-RATED Child Care providers are having their funding SLASHED by Gov. Sanders and Republicans. These cuts will be DEVASTATING for Arkansas families ✂️ Read our full statement arkdems.org/republicans-sl…

Another terrible attack, this time on conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Absolutely abhorrent. The political violence has got to stop.

The members and staff of the AR Senate mourn the passing of Senator Gary Stubblefield, 74, who died on Tuesday, Sept. 2.  Sen. Stubblefield was elected to the Senate in 2012, after serving two terms in the House of Representatives. He represented Senate District 26. #arleg

Wishing everyone a relaxing and well-earned #LaborDay today! Our great nation was built by those who put in long hours and work hard – today is your day to take a break! Happy Labor Day!

Congratulations Chair @MarcusforAR !!! Let’s win @ArkDems !

Congratulations to new @ArkDems Chair Marcus Jones @MarcusforAR. Lots of work ahead but I am confident he’s up for the mission.

"Arkansas and its legislature are forever indebted to Uvalde Lindsey’s public service (which began long, long before he joined the Arkansas House). We’d be so much better off today were there more Uvalde Lindseys in our General Assembly—patient, thoughtful lawmakers far more concerned about policy than partisan politics." -Senator @GregLeding

Grant did a great job. Under his leadership, Democrats gained in the House for the first time in two decades, and we're in a strong position for the future. I'm grateful for his service, accomplishments, and friendship.
