Senator John Boozman

Senator John Boozman is the senior United States senator for Arkansas, and a member of the Republican Party. First elected to the Senate in 2010, John was sworn in for a second term on January 3, 2017.

As the son of an Air Force Master Sergeant, John learned at an early age about the sacrifices of our men and women in uniform, as well as the unique challenges Military families face.  He graduated from the Southern College of Optometry in 1977 and entered private practice that same year co-founding a family business with his brother that would ultimately become a major provider of eye care to Northwest Arkansas.

He is also a senior member of the United States Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs.
