Chairman's Corner: A Note from Chairman Wood

November is a month of national gratitude - and a time when our country comes together to recognize the lifesaving impact of adoption.

This year, that focus is stronger than ever. President Trump recently issued the “Fostering the Future” executive order, an important step to raise awareness and strengthen resources for youth in foster care. First Lady Melania Trump is leading this initiative, helping ensure vulnerable children are never forgotten and that the families who step up to care for them receive the support they need.

Here in Arkansas, we are proud to continue making meaningful strides of our own. Under strong conservative leadership, our state has reduced the number of children waiting for adoption, streamlined training and certification for foster parents, and strengthened efforts to keep children connected with their extended families whenever possible. Arkansas is proving what is possible when we cut bureaucracy, empower families, and invest in programs that uplift children.

One way we are doing that is through Project Zero - our statewide effort to ensure that no child in Arkansas waits for a forever home.

RPA Chairman Joseph K.Wood

We also marked Veterans Day this week, and it was truly an honor to join the ceremony at Founders Classical Academy of Rogers.

Filing week is officially behind us, and Republicans across Arkansas have every reason to be energized. We are heading into 2026 with tremendous momentum, a strong slate of candidates, and a unified message rooted in conservative leadership and Arkansas values.

This year’s filings showcased the depth and strength of our party. We have outstanding Republicans running for re-election - leaders who have delivered on lower taxes, safer communities, education freedom, and protecting our conservative principles. And we’re equally excited to welcome several new faces who are stepping forward to serve.

I’m excited to share that the TUSK Christmas Party is right around the corner. This annual celebration is a wonderful opportunity for our members to come together, reflect on the year’s successes, and enjoy the fellowship that makes our party so strong. If you are a TUSK member and have not yet received your registration link—or if you would like to become a member and attend—please reach out to [email protected] and our team will be happy to assist you.

We look forward to celebrating with you!

One last reminder: Drew County Committee will NOT be meeting this week on November 20th. Please stay tuned for their next meeting's details!

– Chairman Joseph K. Wood
