Meet David
David Howell is a lifelong servant-leader who believes Arkansas deserves real solutions—not empty promises. Until October 2025, David served on staff at City Church – Russellville, where he worked every day to confront the issues affecting our city, our region, and our state. Prior to ministry, Howell served in the financial services industry for 12 years focusing on investments, retirement plans, and financial solutions for individuals, small businesses, and companies.
He and his wife Stacy recently launched Open Doors Ministries, a new ministry focused on equipping local churches, meeting the needs of families across our area, and attacking one of Arkansas’s most devastating burdens: crippling medical debt.
His ministries carried him to multiple states, last year he spoke to more than 250 church leaders from 32 nations in the Middle East and Africa. He also traveled to Ethiopia where he spoke to nearly 75 members of the Ethiopian Parliament about being a public servant as Christian Catalyst.
While at City Church, David was part of an initiative that eliminated more than $3 million in bad medical debt for the people of Pope County—real relief for real families.
David is also the author of The Man in the Window, a book that challenges believers to live out their faith in ways that transform communities. David and Stacy have been married for 24 years and are blessed with six children, two wonderful sons-in-law/daughters-in-law, and their first grandson, born in October 2025.
Why I ran for office
I ran for office because I believe that we need individuals with common sense, strong values, and a willingness to stand-up for what is right. We need someone that is for Life, for Arkansas families, for protection of our constitutional rights, and someone that won't be content with the status quo.
I believe that we need someone in Little Rock who will vote their convictions, and be a voice for the constituents they represent. I believe that being a Conservative Republican is much more than one or two key issues. There is more that must be done, for our children, for our educational system, for our business owners, and for our communities.
I have been an advocate for foster families, adoption organizations, for the church, for those without a voice, and for the unborn. I will continue to be an advocate for those that have no voice.
In the end, I ran for office because I believe that there is more that can be done. .
