Grant Hodges

Grant is a proven political strategist and elected leader with 15 years of experience in campaign management, government relations, and public service. His political career began in 2012 when he managed his first campaign for state representative at age 22.

In 2014, Grant successfully ran for the Arkansas General Assembly, winning his primary with nearly 70% of the vote to become one of the youngest people ever elected to the body. He was re-elected in 2016 and 2018. After a brief hiatus to focus on family, he returned to the legislature in 2023, winning election in a newly drawn district.

During his time away from the legislature, Grant served at NorthWest Arkansas Community College, where he led government relations, communications, and marketing, eventually rising to the position of Chief of Staff.

As a consultant and strategist, he has worked on the campaigns of over a dozen members of the state Legislature, primarily in Northwest Arkansas, including several successful efforts to defeat incumbents. His campaign expertise spans school board races to prosecuting attorney campaigns, focusing on messaging, strategy, budgeting, opposition research, and paid advertising production and execution.

Grant graduated from the University of Arkansas in 2013 with a degree in political science. He lives with his wife, Meredith, their two sons, Calvin and Logan, and baby daughter, Caroline, along with their black lab, Chance. When not focused on public service, he enjoys running and reading.
