Our mission

The DPA sustains party organization and infrastructure, manages statutory compliance, communicates our shared values, recruits and supports candidates, coordinates with our elected officials, and conducts year-round organizing across the state to elect Democrats up & down the ballot and build a Brighter, Healthier, Safer, and Fairer Arkansas.

What that looks like

Candidate recruitment

A lot of great candidates never planned to run. We find them, answer their questions and train them once they say yes! Sign up to run here.

Building our county parties

County chairs get the voter data, walk lists, graphics and advice they need to run a real program at home.

Infrastructure and data

We keep up the voter file every Democratic campaign in Arkansas uses, from governor to school board.

Holding our government accountable

When the supermajority passes something that hurts Arkansas families, we make sure people hear about it.

Why give to the party

Give to the party and your money backs every Democrat on the ballot, not one race, and it keeps working after November. It’s how a first-time candidate in a rural House district gets a walk list, and how a county party that went quiet for a few years gets back on its feet.

Republicans have held a supermajority at the Capitol for over a decade. We break it with candidates in every district and people organizing behind them year-round.
