Celebrate Alex Holladay’s Democratic Victory in Arkansas

Voters in Arkansas just delivered an important victory for democracy — and it’s worth celebrating.

Democrat Alex Holladay has won the special election for Arkansas House District 70, flipping the seat after coming just short in the previous race. This time, voters in North Little Rock, Sherwood, and surrounding communities chose a leader focused on public service, health care, and representing their district.

While the Arkansas legislature remains heavily Republican, this victory matters. Every seat shapes debates, votes, and the ability to check extreme policies. Holladay’s win also helps ensure that key decisions — especially on major spending bills that require supermajority support — reflect a broader range of voices.

Just as importantly, this result shows that organizing, persistence, and voter engagement can pay off — even in challenging political environments. Holladay didn’t give up after a narrow loss. He kept showing up, listening to his community, and earning the trust of voters.
