Randy Alexander

In the 2014 Republican gubernatorial primary, Alexander endorsed the businessman Curtis Coleman, who was handily defeated by the 2006 nominee, former U.S. Representative Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas's 3rd congressional district. Hutchinson then lost the general election to current Governor Mike Beebe. Alexander and Coleman had both run in the 2010 primary for the Senate against John Boozman.

Alexander, with 817 votes (42 percent), was unseated in the 2014 Republican primary by Lance Eads of Springdale, who polled 1,137 votes (58 percent).

In 2013, Alexander co-sponsored a spending cap on the state budget, but the measure failed by two votes on the House floor. He voted to override the vetoes of Democratic Governor Mike Beebe to enact legislation to require photo identification for casting a ballot in Arkansas and to ban abortion after twenty weeks of gestation. He also supported legislation to forbid the inclusion of abortion in the state insurance exchange and to make the death of a fetus a felony in certain cases. He did not vote on a House-approved provision to ban abortion at the point at which fetal heartbeat is detected.
