OFFICIAL 🔥👏 The Arkansas Supreme Court DISMISSED Gov. Sanders’ Appeal; ARKANSAS DEMOCRATS just WON our lawsuit on behalf of House District 70 voters ‼️
Y’ALL, this is a HUGE WIN 💯
“The Governor fought this for months. She wasted time and taxpayer dollars. Even after the election was over. Even after the session was over— Gov. Sanders kept fighting, because she thinks she knows better than the voters of House District 70 and better than the Arkansas Supreme Court.
We’re pleased with the Court’s decision. Arkansas Democrats will never stop fighting for representation and democracy in Arkansas.”
— Arkansas Democratic Party Chair Col. Marcus Jones (Ret.)
NEWS 🚨 Gov. Sanders JUST picked the Supreme Court Special Justice who will decide a case SHE is a DEFENDANT in.
From DPA Chair Col. @marcusforar : “Unlike Gov. Sanders, the Democratic Party and four Pulaski County voters are standing up for Arkansans to ensure fairness in the courts and fair representation in the legislature.”
The Democratic Party of Arkansas and four Pulaski County voters just filed a motion to ask the Arkansas Supreme Court Special Justice Sanders appointed to recuse himself 🗂️

AS WE CELEBRATE ARKANSAS MOMS THIS WEEK, don’t forget: Arkansas is the ONLY state in America that hasn’t extended postpartum Medicaid coverage to a full year for new moms.
Last week’s corporate tax handout could’ve paid for that 13 times over. The GOP supermajority chose not to.
Rep. Ashley Hudson: “We could have. We chose not to.”
Sen. Clarke Tucker: “If we get to where we want to be with maternal health outcomes in 2027 or 2028, great. But it’s not gonna help that mom or that baby that had a tragic health outcome in 2026.”
While the extreme GOP supermajority is serving Gov. Sarah Sanders and their campaign donors, our Democratic House Caucus will continue to fight for working families 👏
We salute our DEMOCRATIC HOUSE CAUCUS LEADERSHIP 🫡 Congratulations y’all!
TODAY 📰 Gov. Sanders signed the Special Session tax handout to corporations and millionaires into law… We deserve so much better.
Here are the FACTS 🔎
👉 The VAST MAJORITY of Arkansas’s corporate tax cut is LEAVING the state.
👉 MILLIONAIRES will receive NEARLY all of the benefits from this cut. You will get— maybe— $50.
Don’t forget this! REPUBLICANS GAVE TAX $$$ to MILLIONAIRES & OUT-OF-STATE CORPORATIONS INSTEAD OF:
👉 $2 million to fund postpartum Medicaid (we are the ONLY state that doesn’t offer one year of coverage to new moms)
👉 $18 million for SNAP (we have the worst rates of child hunger in the country)
👉 $22 million to clear half the childcare waitlist (the GOP Legislature SLASHED funding for child care earlier this year)
Rep. Ashley Hudson CALLED IT on the House floor: “That’s not relief. That is not serious policy. What it is is a soundbite— a line in a campaign mailer— nothing more. And frankly? It is an insult to the people of Arkansas.”👏
It’s Teacher Appreciation Week 🍎
From Arkansas Democrats Chair Colonel Marcus Marcus Jones (Ret.):
“To every teacher in Arkansas — thank you. You show up early, stay late, buy supplies out of your own pocket, and hold the classroom together no matter what’s happening in the world outside it. Through your hard work and commitment, you’re shaping Arkansas’s future.
You deserve more than a thank-you week. You deserve pay that reflects the hours you work, and classroom supplies you don’t have to buy yourself. You deserve the resources you need to adequately serve every student in your classroom.
You deserve state leaders who treat you like the professionals you are. You deserve legislators who prioritize our public schools, which 95% of Arkansas kids attend — rather than sending our tax dollars to private schools. Instead of spending $300+ Million on school vouchers, we could give every public school teacher an $8,000 raise. Our tax dollars would be far better spent if we did.
In so many Arkansas towns, the public school is the heart of the community— and you keep it beating. We are so grateful for the time and dedication you put into your work.”
THANK YOU, ARKANSAS TEACHERS ❤️
ARKANSAS, this is the MOST IMPORTANT video you’ll see all day 📺
Here’s Rep. Andrew Collins’ absolute masterclass on why the GOP budget and their tax giveaway to millionaires is ripping off working families and the most vulnerable Arkansans.
HAPPENING NOW 🚨 The legislature is BACK for a special session today for ONE purpose: a tax cut where most of the benefit flows to top earners and corporations. The average working Arkansas family gets about $50 - if even that.
📞☎️ Contact your legislator NOW and tell them to vote NO on the GOP tax handout for millionaires and corporations
