John Burris (born September 27, 1985) [2] is a Republican former member of the Arkansas House of Representatives . [3] [4] [5] [6] where he served three two-year terms, the maximum allowed by Arkansas term limit laws at the time.

Burris was elected to represent District 85, which then covered the city of Harrison and part of Boone County, in 2008, defeating opponent Bill Witty and becoming, at 23, the youngest person then serving in the Arkansas House. [7] In the 2010 election, Representative Burris was unopposed. Redistricting placed Burris's home in District 98, where, in the 2012 election, he succeeded incumbent Republican Donna Hutchinson , who was term-limited. Burris was unopposed in the primary and general election. [8]

Elected as House Minority Leader in 2010, [9] Burris was the youngest Minority Leader, at age 25, in the history of the state, and served in that capacity during the 2011 Regular Session and 2012 Fiscal Session.

In 2014, he was a candidate for the Arkansas State Senate, losing to fellow Republican Scott Flippo in a runoff primary election. [10] [11] . Later that year, he received a public letter of caution from the state Ethics Commission related to omitting some information on financial disclosure reports. [12] After losing to Flippo, Burris accepted a private-sector job as a consultant on health policy issues. He had been one of the principal architects of Medicaid expansion in Arkansas [13]

Burris is a partner and lobbyist [14] [15] at Capitol Advisors Group, [16] a Little Rock-based government relations, public affairs, and issue management firm. [17]

Burris was political director for Tom Cotton's 2014 U.S. Senate bid. [18] [19]

Burris graduated from Arkansas Tech University (ATU) in Russellville with a Bachelor of Arts in History in 2008. While at ATU, he was a manager at Wendy's. [20] From 2014 to 2016, Burris contributed articles to Talk Business & Politics, a news website that covers business, politics, and culture across all Arkansas regions. [21]
