I am running for reelection for Mayor of the great City of Bryant. I have devoted the past 7 years serving the residents of Bryant and am passionate about the success of our community.

I am committed to keeping my focus and energy working on what is good and worthy of attention: accomplishments, goals, and building healthy, working relationships with elected officials and community leaders.

There is still much to be done and many opportunities to pursue together. Looking at what we have accomplished and the plans for the immediate future, I am even more excited about the possibilities.

I'm proud to be your Mayor and I'm asking for your support.

Meet Jill


There are few problems, that cannot be turned into opportunities by simply interjecting the appropriate creative and resourceful individuals into the mix. A good Mayor is a connector, and Mayor Dabbs has an incredible ability to connect people with other people, designing solutions for opportunities.

Serving as Mayor since 2011, Jill Dabbs wants Bryant to be a place that continues to grow in the direction of one of the healthiest, smartest, and economically vibrant cities of the 21st century. Her vision has been embraced by both local and state leaders, as well as students, and residents. The Mayor's readiness and enthusiasm for helping her city meet the goals laid out in front of them has not gone unnoticed. She was instrumental in creating a 10 year plan for Arkansas to fight obesity. The "Healthy Active Arkansas Plan", recently launched by Governor Asa Hutchinson, lays the framework of encouraging and enabling healthier lifestyles in Arkansas. Mayor Dabbs has also been able to pass policies like a master Walk Bike Drive master street plan along with a master lighting plan that encourages sprawl repair where needed and better guides new development.

When she is not passionately working with others to build an even better Bryant she is spending time with her family, bicycling with friends, snow skiing or talking about any of the three mentioned above. Energy is her middle name. She loves to travel as well as offer her services and experiences when needed as a presenter on many topics affecting municipalities. Mayor Dabbs recently spoke in Atlanta at the National Association of Chronic Disease Directors where she showcased all that is being done in her amazing, fast growing, friendly city. Just to mention a few recent accomplishments the city adopted its first multimodal transportation plan, passed a bond reissue with 71% voter approval for multiple capital improvements, she was instrumental in the passage of the recent Bryant School Millage and the city in partnership with ARDOT just this week opened new exits to Bryant Parkway which is under design and soon to be under construction.

Mayor Dabbs has served on the executive board of the Arkansas Municipal League as 2nd Vice President, she is currently Vice President of Metroplan, she recently graduated from the State Chamber Leadership Arkansas program, will complete the Community Development Institute program this summer at UCA, and serves on the board of the Southwest Trail.
