Rep. Brandon Achor, R-Maumelle, has outraised his Democratic opponent by a margin of more than 9-to-1 in the campaign for Arkansas Senate District 13, according to public campaign finance records disclosed this week.
Fundraising gap in a Pulaski County contest
The filings show Achor, a member of the Arkansas House of Representatives who represents Maumelle, has attracted significantly larger contributions than Democratic candidate Allison Sweatman of North Little Rock. The records do not appear to show a matching level of cash or contributions for Sweatman, leaving the race with a pronounced fundraising disparity as Election Day approaches.
- District: Senate District 13 (Pulaski County-based)
- Leading fundraiser: Rep. Brandon Achor, R-Maumelle
- Challenger: Allison Sweatman, Democrat, North Little Rock
The filings released to the public list the contributors and totals reported by each campaign for the reporting period covered. The Democrat Gazette story publishing the figures cited Associated Press material and the campaigns’ financial disclosures.
Context and next steps
Senate District 13 covers parts of Pulaski County. Achor is running for the Senate seat after serving in the House; Sweatman is identified in the filings as a challenger from North Little Rock. Campaign finance disclosures will continue to be updated as candidates file subsequent reports ahead of the general election.
The campaigns may also report additional late contributions or expenditures in pre-election and pre-runoff filings as permitted under Arkansas law. The Arkansas Secretary of State maintains official campaign finance records for state candidates.
As with all campaign finance reports, the figures reflect sums reported by the campaigns and are subject to the reporting schedule and requirements set by state election law.
