Our Political Work
Since launching in 2021, Hillscout has had the opportunity to work directly with numerous successful campaigns, including through our longtime partnership with the Democratic Party of Arkansas. In 2024, we directed the Battleground Arkansas coordinated campaign that recruited more candidates for the State House of Representatives than any election cycle since 2012 and successfully defended every Democratic seat in the Arkansas General Assembly for the first time since 2006. Some of these winning candidates included Rep. Diana Gonzales Worthen, the first Latina member of the Arkansas legislature, Rep. Jessie McGruder and Rep. Lincoln Barnett in the Arkansas Delta, and defending multiple incumbents targeted for defeat.
“Will came to our community and heard us when we told him what we needed in the Delta. Our effort was victorious in part because he invested in us and added to our campaign’s ability to win.”
