Chairman's Corner: A Note from Chairman Wood

Candidate filing is right around the corner, and we’re still working to collect filing fees from several county committees. If your committee hasn’t submitted yet, please make that a priority- we need everyone pulling together to ensure a smooth start to the 2026 cycle. As of today, we are still needing confirmation from the following counties: Ashley, Boone, Clay, Grant, Jackson, Lafayette, Lincoln, Pope, Pulaski, and Woodruff.

Over the next few weeks, the state party will also be sharing important information and resources to help with filing and campaign preparation, so please keep an eye on your inbox.

On the national stage, President Trump delivered a powerful and successful speech at the United Nations, reminding the world that America is back and leading with strength. Here at home, Republicans continue to fight for the needs of Arkansas families - proving that our conservative vision is working.

Together, we’re building momentum for another successful election year.

RPA Chairman Joseph K.Wood

NRCC HIGHLIGHT: Democrats are staring down the barrel of an existential crisis. Voter registration is collapsing, enthusiasm is evaporating, and no amount of spin can cover up the fact that voters are running away because they are too far out of touch with the American people.
