AFC Victory Fund Celebrates Slate of Pro-School Choice Winners in Arkansas Primary Elections

Dallas, TX – AFC Victory Fund celebrates the primary election victories of four Arkansas legislators who have stood with Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders in advancing education freedom for Arkansas families. With their success in contested races, these champions demonstrated the growing strength of the school choice movement in Arkansas. 

AFC Victory Fund worked to defend these allies, each of whom has been a reliable vote for the kind of bold, parent-first education reform that Governor Sanders has championed since taking office. 

AFC Victory Fund is proud to celebrate the following winners in the 2026 Arkansas primaries: 

• Tony Furman – HD 82 

• Wayne Long – HD 39 

• Cameron Cooper – HD 57 

• Brandon Achor – SD 13    

Statement from Ryan Cantrell, Chief State Strategy Officer, AFC Victory Fund: 

"Tuesday's results were a win for Arkansas families. Along with Governor Sanders and others, these four legislators have been steadfast allies in the fight for education freedom, and voters rewarded them for it. Their victories show that standing with parents is smart politics. 

"Governor Sanders prioritized bold, parent-centered education reform policies, and the legislators we supported tonight are essential partners in building upon that work. AFC Victory Fund was proud to stand with them, and we look forward to continuing to advance and expand education freedom in Arkansas alongside Governor Sanders and this fine group of school choice champions."
