Meet Melissa Koller

A Voice for District 24

I am running for Arkansas State Representative in District 24 because I believe our community deserves a representative who understands the challenges facing everyday families and small businesses. As an Alma business owner, I have experienced firsthand the burden of excessive regulations, high taxes, and government red tape that holds back our local economy.

My Background

Business Owner: I serve as Operations Manager and Military Liaison at Koller Moving & Storage, Inc., and I am also an independent business owner with Mary Kay Cosmetics. I understand what it takes to make payroll, serve customers, and grow a business in Arkansas. Government should work for us, not against us.

Faith and Family: I am a non-denominational Christian and proud mother of one daughter. I have served as a Sunday School Small Group leader for 5th and 6th graders at Harvest Time Church. My faith guides my decisions and my commitment to serving our community with integrity and compassion.

Community Leader: For 15 years, I have served as a 4-H Volunteer Leader, dedicating countless hours to helping our youth develop leadership skills and strong character. I believe in investing in the next generation.

Republican Party Service: I have served the Republican Party of Crawford County as Chair (2016), Secretary (2017-2018), and currently serve as 3rd District Committee Woman (2024-2026). I have organized community political forums, phone banks, and Get Out the Vote efforts.

Education: I am a graduate of Alma High School and attended Westark College (now UA-Fort Smith). I have experienced multiple forms of education in Arkansas—public schools, private and Christian schooling, and homeschool— which gives me a unique perspective on what works and what needs improvement in our education system.

My Approach to Legislation

I am research-driven and data-focused. Before supporting any legislation, I review bills using the Economic Freedom Scorecard to ensure they promote freedom, reduce government overreach, and protect taxpayers. I believe in making informed decisions based on facts, not politics.

I want to make sure that more of YOUR dollar stays in YOUR pocket. Too much is being taken out through fees, taxes, and unnecessary regulations that prevent people from running businesses and living their lives freely.

Why I am Running

• •Protecting Life: Support Arkansas law protecting unborn children and fund alternatives to abortion
• •Lower Taxes: Keep more money in the pockets of Arkansas families and businesses
• •Parental Choice in Education: Support the LEARNS Act and Educational Freedom Accounts
• •2nd Amendment: Defend our constitutional rights and oppose red flag laws
• •Protecting Children: Require social media age verification and oppose recreational marijuana
• •Limiting Federal Overreach: Support the Convention of States and protect Arkansas sovereignty

District 24

District 24 covers parts of Crawford and Washington Counties in Northwest Arkansas. From Alma to Natural Dam, our communities deserve a representative who shares their values and will fight for their interests in Little Rock. I have spent my life in this area, and I am committed to serving the people who call District 24 home.
