Arkansas House Democrats
@arhousedems
Official account of the Arkansas House Democrats. We are fighting for a safer, healthier, fairer, and brighter Arkansas.
Here’s to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness— and the perpetual fight to live up to those ideals 🎇 Happy Fourth of July, Arkansas! 🇺🇸
"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…
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.

THOUSANDS of people protesting on the bridge in Little Rock, Arkansas today 🔥 Power to the people, y’all.
Political violence has no place in a modern society. These acts are repugnant and only serve as a disservice to the purpose of our free exchange of ideas. I pray for the families of Rep. Hartman and Sen. Hoffman.
MN Gov Tim Walz confirms state Rep Melissa Hortman and her husband Mark were shot and killed “in what appears to be a politically motivated assassination” Officials are “cautiously optimistic” state Sen. John Hoffman and his wife will survive. They were shot multiple times.
Terrible news out of Minnesota. These families and communities are experiencing an immeasurable loss, and my heart goes out to them. Political violence shakes us all, and it is being rightfully condemned across the political spectrum today. cnn.com/2025/06/14/us/…
On this rainy Memorial Day, we honor the sacrifices of those who died for us, and their “whys,” which reflect the humanity of their heroism.
Big win for affordable housing in Arkansas! 🏡 Gov. @SarahHuckabee Sanders has signed my bill giving Arkansans the right to build Accessory Dwelling Units (ADUs) like backyard cottages and garage apartments. More options for families, seniors, and young people are on the way!
Grateful for the opportunity to be in this room with Congressman @rep_stevewomack , HUD @SecretaryTurner , Gov. @SarahHuckabee Sanders and so many others to talk about the affordable housing crisis and some of the creative solutions NWA has come up with to tackle it.
This afternoon, @SecretaryTurner, Gov. @SarahHuckabee Sanders, and I had an insightful roundtable discussion with local elected officials, judges, business owners and community leaders on affordable housing challenges and opportunities in Northwest Arkansas.
I got several letters about my bill to ensure 12 weeks paid maternity leave for every public school educator. This bill mattered a lot to me, because people told me from first-hand experience how it mattered to them. On the last day of session, it passed. arkansasonline.com/news/2025/apr/…
Even though we’re glad the session is over, we’re proud of our hard work for a better Arkansas. Check out the bills Arkansas Democrats passed this session.👇 #arleg #arpx

We’re proud of Rep. Hudson for fighting for common-sense exceptions to Arkansas’s total abortion ban today. “These exceptions are designed to address the rare and heart-wrenching situations where a woman or girl is confronted with choices that no one should ever have to face.”

“Ultimately, that’s what our policy should be about: improving lives for Arkansans.” “I don’t think that the state is as extreme as the legislature has been.” Watch Minority Leader @andrewcollinsAR on Arkansas PBS’s Arkansas Week. #arleg #arpx pbs.org/video/arkansas…
