Democrat Alex Holladay just flipped a Republican seat, defeating Republican Bryan Renshaw in the Arkansas House District 70 special election.
The seat became vacant after former Republican Rep. Carlton Wing resigned last year, triggering the special election in this competitive Pulaski County district covering parts of North Little Rock and Sherwood.
Holladay previously ran for the seat in 2024 and narrowly lost, but returned this cycle to secure a decisive win — marking a rare Democratic pickup in a state where Republicans hold a strong majority in the legislature.
