Rep. Grant Hodges to join JCD Consulting

JCD Consulting announced that outgoing State Rep. Grant Hodges, R-Centerton, will join the firm as an account manager upon the completion of his legislative term in 2024. Hodges has served four terms in the Arkansas House of Representatives.

In his new role, Hodges will leverage his  experience to assist clients in navigating the political process and to expand the firm’s political business. Due to legal restrictions, he will not be eligible to lobby until 2027.

“My commitment to public service has equipped me with a unique insight that will enhance JCD’s overall success. As I transition from my role in the legislature, I look forward to utilizing my knowledge to drive impactful results for our clients.” said Hodges.

JCD Consulting is a government relations, political consulting, and public affairs firm based in Little Rock. Touting itself as the largest Republican campaign shop in the state, JCD Consulting has continued to expand its lobbying practice and is regularly recognized for its success.

The firm’s clients include Fortune 500 companies, trade group associations, small businesses, and nonprofits. JCD Consulting has managed or played a role in more than 200 campaigns across the state and nation, including the campaigns of over 50 members of the Arkansas Legislature. Notably, they were the only Arkansas-based firm hired by Gov. Sarah Sanders in her 2022 campaign, according to a press release.

“I am thrilled to have Grant on board. With his experience in legislation and political strategy, he brings a wealth of knowledge that will continue to strengthen client relationships and grow our business. We look forward to the innovative solutions he will bring to the firm,” said Chase Dugger, president and CEO of JCD Consulting.
