Senior Data Analyst- 239.244.8808 Ext. 154
I learned early on that any problem can be turned into an opportunity. We simply do not have to be defined by our circumstances or past struggles. With solution-oriented policy organizations like FGA, we can move the ball forward to empower one another to achieve the American Dream.

Asa Hutchinson to the Arkansas Electronic Recording Commission, and in 2019 she was elected and appointed to the Pulaski County Board of Election Commissioners to administer elections in Arkansas’s capital. In 2018, Kristi was named as one of AY Magazine’s Intriguing Women of Arkansas, and in 2019, she served on a bipartisan government reform committee in Little Rock.
Kristi has worked in legislative policy reform for more than a decade, first through election reform in 2013, then as an agency legislative liaison in government affairs drafting bills and advocating for information technology reforms for the State of Arkansas. In 2021, Kristi worked alongside legislative leaders in the drafting and passage of the Election Reform Package for the 93rd General Assembly.
