JOSHUA IRBY

for

state senate district 16.png

 

Because the strength of Arkansas lies in its people—and together, we can build a future grounded in integrity, service, and hope.

 

About Me

 

I’m Joshua Irby, a first-generation Arkansan who moved to Bryant in 2022 to embrace the community my wife grew up in. My family’s legacy of service—especially my father’s work providing safety and opportunity during a challenging time in Little Rock—shaped who I am today. With over 15 years in corporate security, I’ve learned the value of protection, preparedness, and service, which guide my leadership.

 

Why I'm Running

 

I’m running as a centrist civic nationalist because I believe in unity over division. I’m not a traditional Democrat or Republican, but Arkansas’ ballot laws leave independents at a disadvantage—and I chose not to run as a Republican out of respect for the delegates who voted to close their primary in 2024. Running as a Democrat is the best path to serve with integrity, put people over party, and lead with respect, resolve, and common sense to renew Arkansas.
