Arkansas's Fourth Congressional District At-A-Glance
(As of 2000 Census)


**Redistricting Update:  The Arkansas General Assembly has redrawn the boundaries for Arkansas's Fourth Congressional District.  However, these changes do not take effect until the 113th Session of the U.S. Congress, which convenes in January 2013.  When that happens, the new Fourth District will add Franklin, Johnson, Madison and Yell counties and parts of Crawford, Newton and Sebastian counties and will lose Chicot, Desha and Lincoln counties and part of Jefferson County.  To read Mike's statement on congressional redistricting, please click here.
