The Arkansas First Platform

This campaign is not about elevating one person, but about restoring a core principle: government exists to serve, not rule. Many Arkansans have lost faith in a system that feels remote, complex, and unresponsive. This movement calls for a return to constitutional order, transparency, and common sense. We champion election integrity rooted in human oversight, not hidden software, and advocate for a simplified voter registration process. Government should reflect the will of the people clearly and honestly—not burden them with bureaucracy or confusion.

​

Our goals include honoring veterans by allowing them to be identified by their earned rank when seeking office, and building a voter roll system governed and maintained by Arkansans, not outsourced to corporations or parties. Early voting should be secure and manageable, not a source of logistical strain. Those who count the votes must be well-trained, fully supported, and operate in full public view. This campaign is grounded in reverence for God, the Constitution, and the dignity of every citizen. If entrusted with office, I will serve with humility, committed to principle, reform, and the public trust.

Meet Bryan

I’m Bryan Norris—a retired Army First Sergeant, husband, and father of three daughters. For 21 years, I served in the U.S. Army, deploying to combat zones and leading elite components of preeminent American military units such as the 25th Infantry Division, 101st Airborne, and III Armored Corps. My mission was simple but unwavering: serve God first, others always, and defend the values that built this nation.

​

After military retirement, I returned home to Arkansas—not to rest, but to rebuild. I pursued higher education, earning degrees in Management Studies, Project Management, and Transformational Leadership. Today, I manage complex initiatives for a Fortune 500 company, applying the same discipline and integrity I brought to the battlefield.

​

Our country faces a crisis of trust. In 2024, I led a successful citizen petition to restore hand-counted paper ballots in Independence County, winning with 63% of the vote. No party machines—just the people. I now serve as the District 1 Representative on the Arkansas Republican State Committee and remain active in my church, the VFW, and Kiwanis.

​

I live in Batesville with my wife Kelly and our daughters. I don’t seek titles or accolades. I believe in doing what’s right, even when no one’s watching. I’m not here to be the hero—just a servant who speaks the truth, stands firm, and puts Arkansas first.

From Battlefield to Ballot Box

I’m a Christian, a father, a veteran, and a man who believes Arkansas is worth fighting for.
