Every single student & family in Arkansas should know that their future is bright, and we should be able to guarantee a high-quality education & access to a public library. 📚 Our current Senator is too busy fighting a culture war to get stuff in the Senate, and we can do better.

[Erika Askeland for Arkansas Senate @ErikaForAR]

Thank you, again, for the opportunity to speak to the ideals, issues, and values that matter most to our community. The attention this race has gotten both here in Jonesboro and across the state has been tremendous!

Add to our momentum below!

We are committed to supporting and uplifting every member of our community. Together, let's celebrate the vibrant heritage that strengthens our state and build a future where everyone is valued and included.

The Arkansas legislature won’t let doctors practice medicine, which drives medical professionals out of our state and makes it more dangerous to be pregnant.

This is unacceptable. I’ll always fight to keep healthcare private.

As a teacher, I know better than anyone how harmful the LEARNS voucher scheme is for students and educators. My third graders deserve well-funded schools, and my colleagues deserve fair pay.

To undo the voucher damage, send a teacher.

[Erika Askeland for Arkansas Senate @ErikaForAR]

As we reflect on this day, let us honor the memory of those we lost by embracing the same unity and compassion that helped us heal. Together, we can build a future rooted in understanding and kindness, ensuring that the legacy of September 11th remains one of resilience and hope.

[Erika Askeland for Arkansas Senate @ErikaForAR]

On this September 11th, we remember the tragic events of 2001 & honor lives lost that day. I vividly recall sitting in my car in the parking lot of Arkansas State University, listening to the news as classes were being let out and a sense of confusion and fear filled the air.

[Erika Askeland for Arkansas Senate @ErikaForAR]

That spirit of solidarity continues to inspire us today, reminding us that even in our darkest moments, we can find strength in our shared humanity.

[Erika Askeland for Arkansas Senate @ErikaForAR]

The people of Arkansas deserve to know how tax dollars are spent. Our legislature rolled back the right to know this and other information, and the voters I talk to daily are sick of it.
I will always be accountable as NEA’s State Senator.

[Erika Askeland for Arkansas Senate @ErikaForAR]

I’m Erika Askeland— wife, mother, educator, and advocate. I’m running to be the next State Senator for Jonesboro and Bono, because NEA needs collaborative, strong, hardworking leadership, and I am the person for the job.
