What this office is

The Mayor of Little Rock is the city’s chief executive. Little Rock uses a city-manager charter: the Mayor and a Board of Directors set policy; a City Manager runs the day-to-day. The Mayor chairs the Board, has a veto, and votes only to break a tie. That is a clock on this city, not a slight. The term is four years. The next regular election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Confirm the clock, and the Mayor of record, on official Little Rock sites.

This is not the Governor. The Governor file lives at Governor of Arkansas. This is not the Pulaski County Sheriff. Little Rock Police and Little Rock Fire are this city’s departments.

Little Rock is the capital of Arkansas, on the south bank of the Arkansas River. Fayetteville is not the capital. North Little Rock is a different city across the river. The river that is actually here, the capitol rise, the River Market, and the neighborhoods that never make a national broadcast hire the same Mayor. This city is the whole map.

How the job fits this community

The inbox is a city inbox: a night shift on Markham, a fire run that is this hydrant, a river-flood minute that is not a Governor file, and a lights-out block that is not a county Sheriff’s docket.

Staff who only know Fayetteville as Arkansas, or only know the capitol dome as the whole city, are not doing the job. North Little Rock is a different city. Conway is a different city. The river remains Little Rock.

What the job entails

  • Set policy with the Board. Not a Governor. Not the City Manager.
  • Police, fire, EMS as Little Rock’s departments.
  • Lights, streets, water the charter actually gives.
  • One home. This city.
