The 2025 Regular Session is now weeks away.

As we prepare for the upcoming session, we’d like to give you an overview of the composition of the House for the 95^th General Assembly.

We will have 12 members serving their first term, bringing fresh perspectives and ideas to the table. On the other end of the spectrum, 26 of our members will have more than 10 years of experience serving in the House, providing valuable institutional knowledge and expertise.

We have 23 women and 77 men who will be serving in the House next year.

There will be 19 Democrats and 81 Republicans.

In terms of professions, we have a varied group of individuals including 10 attorneys, 8 farmers, 8 educators, 5 health care professionals, 10 real estate professionals, and 4 individuals involved in ministry.

Members will be sworn in on the first day of the session, January 13, where we will also formally elect the Speaker of the House for the 95th General Assembly. The 94th General Assembly elected Rep. Brian Evans of Cabot as the Speaker-designate.

On the second day of the session, we will meet jointly with the Senate in the House Chamber to hear an address from Governor Sanders. This address traditionally provides recommendations on key issues facing our state.

As we look ahead to the upcoming session, we are excited to work together to address the needs and priorities of the people of Arkansas. We will continue to update our constituents on developments at the Capitol, and as a reminder, you can watch all meetings at arkansashouse.org.
