The 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Arkansas will be held on November 8, 2022, to elect the four U.S. Representatives from the state of Arkansas, one from each of the state's four congressional districts. The elections will coincide with the Arkansas gubernatorial election, as well as other elections to the U.S. House of Representatives, elections to the U.S. Senate, and various state and local elections. The primaries will be held on May 24th, 2022.
District 1[]
The incumbent is Republican Rick Crawford, who was re-elected unopposed in 2020.[1] The new 1st district covers the Northeast corner of the state — very similar to its predecessor — but now comprises a greater portion of the state's Northern border.
The primary will be on May 24th, 2022.

District 2[]
The incumbent is Republican French Hill, who was re-elected with 55.4% of the vote in 2020.[1] The 2nd district has been the most competitive district in recent years, but redistricting — including dividing Little Rock — makes the district less competitive going forward. The 2nd district still comprises the central part of Arkansas.
