I’m Erin Holliday, your city director, and I am running for re-election. An experienced leader who is passionate about helping others live their best lives, I have had the honor of serving Hot Springs for 11 years, bringing knowledge, creativity, vitality, and a balanced approach the city.

I believe that each of us has the right to a high quality of life and that our local government should provide a path for that. I’ve worked for this ideal by serving on CDAC and the Planning Commission, allocating over $3.7 million in CDBG grants to neighborhoods, and supporting opportunities that make housing, transportation, and public spaces safer and more accessible.

I am not afraid to get my hands dirty and dig into the Hot Springs community. Whether volunteering with service groups, cleaning up our neighborhoods, teaching art to kids and adults, leading PRIDE, working at arts festivals, connecting a neighbor to the resource they need most, or attending my daughter’s dance performances, I love being a part of our diverse community. As your City Director, I will continue to work for a brighter Hot Springs for all while representing the unique views of District 1.
