I'm Adam Fogleman, and I'm running to be Pulaski County Treasurer. I'm a seventh-generation Arkansan, and I've dedicated my career to building a more resilient state for everyone to enjoy.

 Throughout my professional career, I’ve served as a deputy prosecutor, a builder of communities, and, for the last decade, I have served as Pulaski County’s attorney. Through this role and volunteer work, I have led efforts to address central Arkansas’s housing challenges, increase government transparency and advance our state’s energy economy.

My years in public service and private enterprise have taught me a simple, iron truth: Success comes not from boundless resources but from the determined use of what’s at hand. It is the wise and energetic application of every dollar, every effort, toward the greatest need and the greatest opportunity that forges real progress. Waste nothing—marshal what you have, where you are, and drive it forward with purpose. 

Progress doesn’t happen in a silo. It takes collaboration, communication, and a willingness to listen. My campaign is about bringing people to the table. That’s how we move our county forward.
  • Transparency is not negotiable. On day one, I will initiate work on an open checkbook, so that Pulaski County's expenses are accessible from the comfort of your home. This promise is founded on my work over the last decade to make government more transparent. I have served on Arkansas's Freedom of Information Task Force and led Pulaski County's effort to open a FOIA portal so that it's easier to make a public records request. The Treasurer's office currently does not make records available on the County's FOIA portal.
  • Collaboration is a key to success. Arkansas's county governments are designed to be service agents to citizens and providers of critical services, and no operation should exist in a silo. The Pulaski County Treasurer serves as the collector of school taxes - the base funding for every public school district, our most critical public service. County government provides supportive services and facilities for State courts, Prosecuting Attorneys, and Public Defenders. The County Treasurer often serves as the collector for other providers of critical services in unincorporated areas, like Rural Fire Departments, and levee and drainage districts. Greater effort must be made to ensure that these critical service providers are fully supported.
  • Pulaski County's success depends on taking a forward-focused financial approach. As County Attorney, I led efforts to power Pulaski County with solar. The decision to spend my time on this effort was a value decision, but the project's success is measured in finances. In year 1, Pulaski County saved $250,000, and we fixed our energy costs for the next 25 years. The best part is that it cost no money, $0, out of pocket.

    I employed a similar approach to address a $10m deferred maintenance backlog. By using energy efficient equipment, Pulaski County was able to recoup its maintenance cost through energy savings over just a few years.

    This future-focused financial approach belongs in the County Treasurer's Office.
The first lesson I learned in public service was that we can accomplish anything we set out to do, in public or private, if we can figure out the finances. I am passionate about advancing Arkansas's energy economy, Rural economic development, and conserving and protecting our natural and agricultural lands. I am have taken the words of Wendell Berry to heart - ""There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred and desecrated places. My belief is that the world and our life in it are conditional gifts." All of my personal passions center on my belief that we are called to be stewards of our place in this world.
