Kenneth Wayne Bragg, known as Ken Bragg (born 1950), has been since January 2013 a Republican member of the Arkansas House of Representatives for District 15 in Grant County, a traditional Democratic stronghold in south Arkansas. In 2015, his colleagues named him the House Majority Leader.
Bragg is a former member of the city council in Sheridan. He is Southern Baptist.[1]
Bragg is the son of the late Mr. and Mrs. L. C. Bragg of Port Arthur, Texas.[2] In 1972, Bragg received a Bachelor of Science degree in forestry from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. He has since that time been employed in the forestry industry, including a 25-year commitment to International Paper Company. In 2006, he joined Resource Management Service, in which capacity he oversees forest management activities on 300,000 acres in Arkansas. He is a member of the executive committee of the Arkansas Forestry Association.[3]
In 2013, the Arkansas Timber Producers Association named Bragg "Legislator of the Year" for his sponsorship of legislation to eliminate the sales tax on forestry equipment, a move which the association contends will make the timber industry more competitive with its counterparts in surrounding states.[4]
Bragg and his wife, Beverly J. Bragg (born 1951), originally from Port Arthur, Texas, have a son, Aaron Christopher Bragg (born 1977), a Certified Public Accountant in Little Rock, who in 2013 wed the assistant U.S. attorney Allison Courtney Waldrip.[2] The Braggs also have a daughter with the married name Peacock.
