Race at a glance
Johnny Rye is the Republican incumbent running for Arkansas House District 36 in the 2026 general election. The election is scheduled for Nov. 3, 2026, and the race is listed as uncontested.
Rye is the only candidate listed in the race. The Republican designation identifies Rye’s party affiliation, while the incumbent designation means Rye currently holds the office. District 36 is the Arkansas House seat at stake in this election.
The candidate entry establishes four central facts about the race: Rye’s name, Republican affiliation, status as the incumbent and place on the general election ballot for House District 36. It also identifies the contest as one without a listed opponent.
Background and experience
No candidate biography is on file for Rye. The official entry therefore does not identify personal history, education, occupation or career experience beyond Rye’s current status as a member of the Arkansas House.
The incumbent designation is the principal background detail attached to Rye’s candidacy. It distinguishes Rye from a first-time candidate but does not, by itself, describe legislative priorities, committee work or actions taken in office. No additional biographical details are attached to the candidate listing.
For voters reviewing the District 36 race, Rye’s current officeholding status and party affiliation are the only documented background information in the entry. Other personal or professional details are not part of the filed profile.
Campaign finance record
No figures are on file for money raised, money spent or cash on hand. Those three campaign finance fields do not contain dollar amounts for Rye’s 2026 candidacy.
An unlisted figure should not be read as a reported total of zero. It means the candidate profile does not carry a number for that category. As a result, there is no filed amount here to compare across fundraising, spending and remaining campaign funds.
Because the race is uncontested, there is also no opposing candidate’s campaign finance entry to compare with Rye’s. The candidate list contains only Rye, and Rye’s three finance categories remain without listed totals.
Policy positions and election status
No documented policy positions are on file for Rye in this race. That means no specific stance can be attributed to Rye here on taxes, education, health care, public safety, state spending or other matters that may come before the Arkansas House.
Rye’s Republican affiliation is a party label, not a documented position on a particular proposal. Likewise, incumbent status identifies Rye as the current officeholder but does not establish a position on any bill or issue.
The next scheduled election event identified for the race is the general election on Nov. 3, 2026. The central process questions are whether the candidate listing changes, whether campaign finance figures are added and whether Rye places specific policy positions on the official record before Election Day. The race remains listed as uncontested.
