8th Generation Arkansas momma. Caregiver, mental health professional. Candidate for AR State Senate District 13.

[Allison Grigsby Sweatman @AllisonForAR]

I’m excited to announce that I am running for State Senate in District 13. 
I’m running because working families like ours deserve a senator who will fight for them.

Becoming a mother changes everything.

Riley, I’d be happy to talk any time about the problems with our healthcare system that lead to the stress you’re describing here.

As a mom to two kids with disabilities, I know the mystery bill experience very well. Parents deserve better. We deserve to be able to financially plan for our babies’ arrival without this nonsense. Here in Arkansas, most families would have to choose between this mystery hospital bill and keeping the lights on. It’s unacceptable for our great country to have a broken system that puts profits over patients.

[Riley Gaines @Riley_Gaines_]

It's been 7 months since we had our baby and we're still receiving unexplained hospital bills in the mail.

Hardly ever an adequate description of services. Just a QR code to pay online.

It feels intentionally confusing and difficult to get answers. We want price transparency.

Today, the Arkansas Democrat Gazette published my op-ed about servant leadership. I invite you to read it. 

“Still, the future I see for our state is one of hope and possibility. What is possible when Jesus' teachings are personally applied by our elected officials who claim to know him? What would be possible if our elected officials who claim to know Jesus applied his teachings instead of pandering to a political party? Put another way, what can Arkansas achieve with servant leaders in office? The answer is bold change that leaves no one behind. May we go and do likewise.”

[Eric Swalwell @ericswalwell]

I am suspending my campaign for Governor.

To my family, staff, friends, and supporters, I am deeply sorry for mistakes in judgment I’ve made in my past.

I will fight the serious, false allegations that have been made — but that’s my fight, not a campaign’s.

Happy Resurrection Day to all those celebrating 🩵

Today and every day, we choose to live as resurrection people. The tomb was empty, death didn’t win, and evil didn’t prevail.

The resurrection means even when we’re certain that all is lost, we can have hope for tomorrow. This hope from Jesus is the center of our life, and I’m so grateful for the story of his life, death, and resurrection which sustains us every day.

If Easter’s not your thing, I’m wishing for a hope-filled, beautiful Sunday with people you love.

What a tremendously shameful moment this is for our country.

To the small men leading us, this is a game of ego and domination. The price of their games is six American lives, and the president has said to expect more.

Our men and women in uniform deserve better than this disrespect and foolishness, and so do the rest of us.

[The White House @WhiteHouse]

Will not stop until the objectives are met.

Unrelenting. Unapologetic. 🔁

[Allison Grigsby Sweatman @AllisonForAR]

This morning @AndrewSweatman and I got to wake the kids up to GOOD NEWS: we won! And we’re not done yet.

To everyone who worked to help us win this primary, thank you, from the bottom of my heart.

Now it’s time to flip this seat for working Arkansans and their families. Onward!

[Rep. Andrew Collins @andrewcollinsAR]

I am thrilled to see Democrat Alex Holladay flip the first seat of the cycle in Arkansas, winning big to become the next State Representative for North Little Rock and Sherwood. He’ll do a great job! #arpx #arleg

[Democratic Party of Arkansas @ArkDems]

Arkansas Democrats just flipped this seat, won this Special Election, and elected Alex Holladay to the Arkansas State House 👏

Folks want change— and they’re voting for it 🔥

Thank you, Arkansas!

[Arkansas Times @ArkTimes]

We were out in Sherwood knocking doors this afternoon before the Big Game!

There’s nothing better than connecting with SD13 voters about the issues that matter most to them. Today we had great conversations about strengthening public education, lowering the cost of childcare, and the importance of staying connected to our local communities in today’s political climate.

Arkansans are ready for change, and I’m committed to just that. #sd13 #ags2026 #arpx

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

Racist. Deranged. Humiliating to our country. The fact that we have decided to pretend to this is normal every day is a moral abomination. Have we any shame?

And every day an entire generation is being told it is “Christian” to support this. God have mercy on us.

[Democratic Party of Arkansas @ArkDems]

Happy Black History Month, Arkansas!

Thank you to the Black Arkansans who have made our state into the place we know and love so much ✨

We’ve truly got so much to celebrate— and so much work left to do to achieve the equitable future that the Natural State deserves 🧡

[Pulaski County Special School District @pcssdschools]

All PCSSD schools will be closed on Monday, February 2. Our maintenance crews have made great strides in clearing walkways and parking lots at our facilities, as well as monitoring travel on city and county roadways, and we appreciate their hard work.

[Pulaski County Special School District @pcssdschools]

While many students spent their snow day indoors, two Maumelle High School Hornets chose to spend theirs helping others.

@depayser I JUST told my fellow park hill friends I wish I had my four wheeler to go pick them up to come drink hot chocolate. They’re gonna have to hoof it instead.

A big winter storm is about to hit Arkansas. The Arkansas Advocate has a guide on what to expect and how to prepare

[Allison Grigsby Sweatman @AllisonForAR]

@depayser Can you text me their info? I’d love to have some!

[Allison Grigsby Sweatman @AllisonForAR]

Today we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

I am always grateful for how Dr. King’s words bring hope and urgency as we face the inequality of today. May we take both of those values into the work ahead. #arpx #mlkday
