The incumbent is Republican French Hill, who was re-elected with 55.4% of the vote in 2020.[1] The 2nd district has been the most competitive district in recent years, but redistricting — including dividing Little Rock — makes the district less competitive going forward. The 2nd district still comprises the central part of Arkansas.
The primary will be on May 24th, 2022.
Candidates[12]
- French Hill, incumbent U.S. representative
- Conrad Reynolds, veteran[13]
