Cathy Hardin Harrison is the County Judge of Miller County and a Republican candidate for Arkansas Secretary of State in the 2026 election. She was first elected judge in 2018 after serving as the county’s tax collector and is the first woman to hold the position. Harrison points to her local government experience—managing budgets, securing grants, and overseeing a county solar project—as proof she can handle statewide responsibilities. Her campaign focuses on election security, fiscal management, and improving how the Secretary of State’s office serves businesses. She lives in the Texarkana area with her husband, Robert “Bob” Harrison, a retired police chief. No major endorsements or fundraising totals have been reported as of late 2025.
