SPOTLIGHT RACE: Alex Holladay for AR-HD70 (Special Election)

I’m running for State Representative for one simple reason: We Need More Honesty at the State Capitol.

Honesty is a principle deeply ingrained, not just by personal conviction, but by the lessons of family and history. My dad, a lifelong admirer of Mark Twain would always quote his famous quip, "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything."

In my job at UAMS - where I recruit pharmacists, clinicians, and doctors to make their home in Arkansas, to serve and heal Arkansans - I often talk to families and young students about how UAMS and Arkansas can change their lives. My honesty is the most important selling point. My job isn’t to sell them by all means necessary. My job is to make sure they are confident that UAMS and our state will provide them the pathway to become the professional they always imagined.

I’ll carry that commitment to integrity with me into policymaking
