PAWPAC recruits, mentors, and funds progressive women candidates in local and state elections. Help us change the face of Arkansas politics!

Join our Facebook Group:
facebook.com/groups/pawpac Pro Arkansas Women PAC is dedicated to increasing the number of progressive women in elected office in Arkansas. Our mission is to identify and support women leaders in our communities who are committed to reproductive freedom and women’s economic and social equality. Goals
• Provide financial support and other campaign assistance to progressive women running for office in Arkansas.
• Create and sustain a network of supporters who will insure a growing and well-funded movement to change the face of the Arkansas Legislature over the next ten years.
• Recruit progressive women to run for office. (Pro Arkansas Women is a state PAC and is not allowed to contribute to candidates for federal office without complying with federal PAC regulations, which we are not equipped to do.)

When politicians criminalize reproductive healthcare, the harm doesn’t stop at abortion.

A new commentary in the Arkansas Advocate lays out how bans have also gotten in the way of miscarriage treatment, fertility care, and IVF. It also notes that more than a third of people giving birth in the U.S. now live in a county with no obstetric care.
Arkansas families deserve better. Decisions about pregnancy belong to patients and their doctors, not politicians.

That’s why every woman PAWPAC endorses believes in reproductive freedom. Vote like your healthcare depends on it, because it does.

Rep. Diana Gonzales Worthen, State Rep. District 9
Courtney King, State Rep. District 25
AnneDella Hines, JP District 7
Stephanie Shufelt, JP District 5

Washington County, you could decide who leads your county. Vote early through Nov. 2 or on Election Day, Nov. 3.

Nicole Clowney for Arkansas gets things done.

Her bill, HB 1503, passed with broad bipartisan support and became Act 313. It makes it easier to build an accessory dwelling unit, like a backyard cottage or in-law suite, on the same lot as a single-family home.

That means more housing options for aging parents, adult kids, and working families, without waiting on a massive development. It’s a practical step on the housing crisis, and it took effect January 1, 2026.

This is what happens when women lead with common sense. PAWPAC is proud to endorse Rep. Clowney for State Representative District 21.

Your county quorum court might be the most important body you’ve never thought about.

Justices of the peace approve county budgets, decide how public money is spent, and make calls that touch daily life. Right now, many are also weighing data center proposals, which raise big questions about land use, infrastructure, and water.

That’s why PAWPAC endorses women up and down the ballot, including JP candidates in Pulaski, Washington, Benton, Garland, Saline, Craighead, and Crittenden counties.

Smaller races. Huge impact. Find your JP candidate: proarkansaswomen.com/our-candidates

This cycle, PAWPAC has endorsed 54 women and contributed $113,300 to their campaigns.

These women are running for school boards, city councils, county quorum courts, the state legislature, and statewide office. They know their communities. They’re ready to lead.

And twelve of them are running unopposed in November. That’s what years of recruiting, mentoring, and showing up for women looks like.

Meet all of our 2026 candidates: proarkansaswomen.com/our-candidates

Then make sure they’re on your ballot. Early voting is open now through Nov. 2.

Want to hear something truly terrifying?

Women make up more than half of Arkansas. But we’re less than 20% of the state’s elected officials.

Now that’s scary.

The good news: you can do something about it. Early voting runs through Monday, Nov. 2, and Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3. PAWPAC has endorsed 54 women running from school boards and city councils to quorum courts, the legislature, and Secretary of State.

Don’t let fear win. Find your PAWPAC women and make a plan to vote: proarkansaswomen.com/our-candidates

Happy Halloween from PAWPAC.

Ten years ago, a few neighbors in an alley decided Arkansas needed more women in office. Today, 36 PAWPAC-endorsed women are serving across our state.
That didn’t happen by accident. It happened because people like you chipped in, month after month.

Our Glassbreakers are monthly donors who keep this work going year round, not just in election season. Because PAWPAC is almost entirely volunteer-run, nearly every dollar goes straight to recruiting, endorsing, and funding women candidates.

$10 a month. $25 a month. Whatever you can give, it adds up to women at the table.

Early voting in Arkansas started Monday, Oct. 19.

Skip the Election Day line and vote on your own schedule. Here’s what you need to know:
Weekdays: 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturdays: 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
Last day: Monday, Nov. 2, closing at 5 p.m.
Election Day: Tuesday, Nov. 3, 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.

Before you go, look yourself up at VoterView.org. Enter your name and birthday to find your early voting sites and see your sample ballot, so you know every race before you walk in. Early voting sites are often different from your Election Day polling place, so check both. And don’t forget your photo ID.

When you get your ballot, keep going past the top of the ticket. City councils, quorum courts, and county offices are where PAWPAC women are running, and those races are often decided by a handful of votes. Find yours at proarkansaswomen.com/our-candidates.

Earlier this month we shared that Arkansas had the third lowest voter turnout in the country, two elections in a row. Now early voting is open, and it’s time to change that.

Early voting runs through Monday, November 2. Polls are open 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays and 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday, and close at 5 p.m. on the final Monday. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3, from 7:30 a.m. to 7:30 p.m. Don’t forget your photo ID.

Not sure where to go, or whether your registration is current? Check your status and find your polling location here: https://www.sos.arkansas.gov/elections/voter-information/voter-registration-information. If you’ve moved or changed your name, you can update your information at an early voting site.

Then get to know who’s on your ballot. We’ve added new endorsements since our last update, including LaTisha Brunson for Pine Bluff City Council, Amber Govan for Pulaski County JP #12, and Berlinda Helms and LaConda Watson for Jacksonville City Council. See the full list of progressive women PAWPAC has endorsed this cycle, from city councils and quorum courts to the state legislature and Secretary of State: proarkansaswomen.com/our-candidates

Closing the turnout gap isn’t just about showing up. It’s about showing up informed, for candidates who will actually fight for you once they’re in office. Make your plan and vote early.

Young Arkansans are heading to Fayetteville Oct. 23 through 25 for a weekend of training and action in some of the most competitive races in the state. We love to see it.

And if that weekend leaves you thinking about running yourself, our Ready to Run Guide is waiting for you. If not you, who?
