Over 20 years in the classroom have prepared me for this moment.

My name is Erika Askeland, and I am running to be your State Representative here in Jonesboro.

I hope I can earn your vote in this election.

For more than two decades, I have worked in our schools as an early childhood educator.

I’ve taught Pre-K in Jonesboro and Elementary in Marked Tree and Brookland. I know firsthand how decisions our leaders make affect our children and their futures.

Our kids suffer most when our legislators choose to defund our public schools, rather than invest in them.

I’m running for State House to invest in our public schools, protect our children, and support our families.
