Mark Nichols for State Representative - District 1

A lifelong Arkansan with a heart for service and a passion for conservative values, Mark is ready to bring practical leadership and principled representation to the State Capitol.

Raised working in rice and bean fields from the age of 13, Mark learned early the value of commitment and perseverance. He earned a degree in electrical engineering from the University of Arkansas and built a successful career as a licensed professional engineer—serving the Arkansas Department of Transportation, the City of Jonesboro, and now as owner of a small transportation engineering firm.

Faith is the foundation of Mark’s life and decisions. He believes that God’s principles lead to human flourishing—and that limited, accountable government best preserves liberty for all Arkansans. Mark’s priorities reflect both his convictions and deep connection to the people of Northeast Arkansas.

Mark's Priorities Include:

Protecting children online through stronger content accountability

Improving local highway infrastructure and safety with ARDOT

Supporting and sustaining Arkansas family farms

Partnering with Governor Sanders to strengthen education and reduce taxes

Mark has already shown his commitment to local service through his time on the Craighead County Library Board, where he worked to protect children from explicit content, and through years of volunteer work with his church’s food pantry. He believes in both compassion and personal responsibility—and he’s ready to serve Arkansas families with integrity.

“If elected, I want to be a voice for what is good and true at our Capitol.”
