Democrat Alex Holladay prevailed in a special election on Tuesday for a state legislative seat in Arkansas, marking the ninth time since President Donald Trump took office last year that the party has flipped control of a state legislative seat in a special election.
In that same time, Republicans have not flipped a single state seat controlled by Democrats.
Holladay, a health care administrator, defeated Republican businessman Bo Renshaw in a race to replace state Rep. Carlton Wing, a Republican who defeated Holladay by 2 points in 2024. Arkansas’ 70th District is just north of Little Rock.
In a statement, Holladay said he learned a lot from his previous loss.
“Mainly, it taught us that North Little Rock and Sherwood are primed for change,” he said. “Thousands of people told us that year that they were sick and tired of single-party GOP rule in Arkansas … The People are ready to hold our state’s leaders accountable, and that’s what this election was about.”
