Progress
A promise needs
a record.
We want Arkansas’s investment decisions to change. Here is how we distinguish a public commitment from instructions, repayments, and an end to new purchases.
The starting point
The records currently available show historical investments and funding. They do not establish an official commitment to stop new purchases or a withdrawal resulting from the campaign.
Last reviewed: September 7, 2026. We update this page when new documents establish a change. This date identifies our review, not necessarily when an agency provided records.
What we will check
- Commitment: an attributable written statement identifies the institution, scope and timetable.
- Implementation: a board resolution, policy change, or investment instruction puts the commitment into effect.
- Receipt: records show principal was actually received, with the amount and date.
- Continued exclusion: subsequent holdings and transaction records show whether new purchases, renewals or reinvestments occurred.
- Campaign contribution: correspondence or another attributable record supports a connection to the campaign. An ordinary maturity alone does not establish that connection.
A new purchase after a commitment, a rejected demand, or a failure to implement belongs in this record when documented.
October and November: check the next decision
The June 2025 Treasury statement scheduled two $5 million positions to mature on October 1, 2026 and one $10 million position on November 1, 2026. We will compare those entries with a later inventory, actual receipts, and subsequent investment activity before reporting a change.
