“It isn’t just about the number of candidates that have filed with the Republican Party of Arkansas, though we dominate that conversation, too. We’re proud of the quality of the candidates that have filed with us in the past week,” said RPA Chairman Joseph K. Wood. “We are excited about our state and federal candidates, but we are also proud of the hundreds of Justices of the Peace, Constables, and other partisan municipal officeholders that our county committees have worked to register.”

RPA Executive Director Seth Mays had the following to say: “As we head into the elections of 2024, the Republican Party of Arkansas stands ready to support our nominees with every tool they need to win. We expect to be the largest contributor to campaigns in Arkansas as we spread the message about Republican-led policies like educational freedom in Arkansas LEARNS, criminal justice reform to make our communities safer, and true tax reform.”
